How to Secure Your Android Device with a Password Before Making Payments

With the increasing use of smartphones for transactions, it is essential to prioritize security measures, especially when it comes to making payments on your Android device. One way to enhance security is by adding a password before making payments. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open the settings on your Android device and navigate to the 'Security' or 'Biometrics and security' section.
2. Look for the option to 'Set up screen lock' or 'Screen lock type'.
3. Choose a password option such as a PIN, pattern, or password.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up and confirm your new password.
5. Once the password is set, ensure that the 'Lock screen before payment' or similar option is enabled.
6. Now, whenever you make a payment on your Android device, you will be prompted to enter the password, adding an extra layer of security.

By adding a password before payments, you can protect your sensitive financial information and reduce the risk of unauthorized transactions on your device.
