Change Samsung Galaxy S10 PIN - make your phone more secure

Mobile phone unlocking has become increasingly important in recent years. For a long time now, there is no longer just the boring number combination, as finger swipes, swipe gestures and even face recognition have replaced the old PIN. Nevertheless, you can still use a PIN on the Samsung Galaxy S10 as usual.

How to set up PIN in Samsung Galaxy S10?

You can change PIN in just a few steps.

1. Go to Settings and then continue to "Device Security".
2. Now select lock screen type. You can specify what type of lock you want to use. There are "swipe", "pattern", "PIN", "password" and "none". You can also specify which type you want to use here. At the security type you have currently set, it says "current security type".
3. If you have not selected PIN as the current security type, tap it and set a PIN. Confirm the PIN again and then tap "OK".
4. "PIN" will now be automatically set as "Current lock screen type". If you want to use a different security type, follow the same procedure.
5. Set a PIN with at least eight digits. Dieser sollte nicht aus einer leichten Zahlenkombination bestehen und auch nichts mit Ihnen zu tun haben. Verwenden Sie auf keinen Fall personenbezogene Daten wie Ihr Geburtsdatum.

Haben Sie Ihren PIN vergessen, müssen Sie Ihr Smartphone auf andere Art und Weise entsperren.
