Your device may offer other options too, like fingerprints or facial recognition. Such methods aren\u2019t perfect, you know. A really determined hacker could copy your fingerprints from a drinking glass, or trick a camera with a photograph of you.<\/p>\n<p>But they\u2019re a lot better than nothing.<\/p>\n<p>In Samsung\u2019s flagship devices, the <strong>smart unlock <\/strong>feature looks too neat to be true. Be wary of features that automatically unlock your phone when:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your smartwatch is near<\/li>\n<li>Your phone lock is on a smart-timer<\/li>\n<li>The coding sequence is disabled after the sun sets.

Here\u2019s why this point is so important;<\/p>\n<p><strong>An intruder can simply open your browser to gain access to all your online accounts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-2657 aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 650 366'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/how-to\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/6-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Long story short, <strong>you shouldn\u2019t use auto-login features AT ALL.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you seriously must, then use a password manager application that regularly requires you to re-enter a <strong>master password<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t use the same password for more than one app or service: if that one password gets found out, it can be used to access a whole range of private information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This applies even if you\u2019re perfectly careful about keeping your smartphone secure. Hackers regularly break into online services to steal user credentials, which they then try out on other sites.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Biggest Trap | Open Wi Fi<\/h3>\n<p>We all know there\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/political-science\/2016\/aug\/17\/how-to-think-about-the-risks-of-mobile-phones-and-wi-fi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a risk involved in using an open wireless network<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2015\/nov\/26\/hackers-can-hijack-wi-fi-hello-barbie-to-spy-on-your-children\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">But you may not realise how severe it is<\/a>: anyone in the vicinity can snoop on what you\u2019re doing online. This sort of attack demands specialist software and skills, so it\u2019s unlikely to be a hazard in your local cafe, but it\u2019s not a danger that can be ignored.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, this is the only non-hazard that could hurt pretty badly if someone hacks your phone. The hacker might download all your personal data, and to finish things off, infuse malware that renders your device obsolete.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re at all doubtful about a wireless network, don\u2019t connect \u2013 stick with your phone\u2019s mobile internet connection. Or use a VPN tool such as CyberGhost or TunnelBear (both available free for Android and iOS).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-2658 aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 2048 1200'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/how-to\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/7-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These tools route your traffic through a private encrypted channel.
