Currently Android phones have several security methods available to us users, among the most popular is the fingerprint reader or the classic unlocking pattern, but nevertheless this is not the only thing that we must assess to protect our mobile. It is important to know that there are other methods of entering mobile data that may end up affecting us.
That is why Google offers us and makes available to us a series of security reviews that we do not always take into account. To finish protecting the Android mobile and everything we have, we will have to follow the steps that we show you, taking into account each of the options that luckily will be able to be used on all Android mobiles without differentiating between versions or layers of customization.
Review security issues on mobile
The first thing we have to do is access the problem detection systems offered by Google on our Android mobile. To do this we just have to follow a few simple steps and we will have at our disposal all the tools that the great G for Android offers us.
- We begin by entering the Mobile Settings.
- We enter the section called Google.
- Then we choose “Manage your Google account”.
- Next we touch on the big tab “Check security”.
- This will direct us to the section designed to protect the mobile with several options.
Among all the options that seem to us, we find some that are designed to protect other devices, gadgets and smart products with the same Google account, although in this case we are going to focus on protecting the Android mobile that will also be effective for everyone else.
Mobile recovery methods
When we forget the pattern or the mobile unlocking methods do not work, we will have to resort to recovering our mobile through our Google account. In the event that at that time we do not have the accounts correctly associated or the phone number, we will have a problem.
To avoid this, we just have to tap on the “Login and recovery” option that we have seen previously. Here we will have to confirm if the data is correct or modify it so that in the event that a problem arises with the mobile we can quickly recover it.
Mobile application protection
Another very important aspect that we must take into account to protect the mobile with Google and its help has to do with the installed applications. It is becoming more and more common for us to save the passwords for apps and services in our Google account, which allows us to know if the passwords have been compromised, are unreliable or are being affected by an error.
Solve security problems with our data
Finally, we find the third-party access tool, where Google identifies mobile applications or services with access to sensitive information on mobile phones and accounts. By simply tapping on the tab and withdrawing access to the suggested apps, we will be avoiding surprises in the future.
