Security features
Security features help protect the information on iPad from being accessed by others.
Passcodes and data protection
For security, you can set up a passcode that you must enter each time you turn on or wake up iPad.
Set a passcode: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Turn Passcode On. Enter a 4-digit
passcode, then enter it again to verify it. iPad will require you to enter the passcode to unlock it, or
to display the passcode lock settings.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, which uses your passcode as the key for encrypting
mail messages and attachments stored on iPad. (Data protection may also be used by some apps
available from the App Store.) A notice at the bottom of the Passcode Lock screen in Settings
shows that data protection is enabled.
To increase security, turn o Simple Passcode (a four-digit number) and use a more robust
passcode that has a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation, and special characters. See
“Auto-Lock” on page 126.
