But it can also be vulnerable to malware. The flexibility that leads to so many awesome apps also has the downside of leaving some security vulnerabilities open.
Only a small fraction of the apps distributed via Play store are malicious — just 0. But fear not. Android phones come with useful security settings built into the operating system. They can help you protect your device and safely surf the web and download content.
The first level of protection covers default security settings. Android devices have built-in, standard security features like Google Play Protect and on-device encryption. Play Protect scans apps in the Google Store daily to verify they remain free from malware. It also identifies and removes malicious apps from the store before they are downloaded onto devices.
Every app and developer is vetted before their apps are available in the Google Play store. Google Play Protect can also automatically scan your apps for malware before and after you install them. On-device encryption is another default Android security feature. Important to note: You must set your phone to lock with a pattern, PIN, or password for the encryption to kick in.
When your phone is locked, bit AES standard encryption will protect the data stored on that device. Android devices offer another layer of basic protection when you activate additional security features that include setting a password, and enabling two-step verification and the Find My Device tool. Android phones require the traditional locking methods of setting a pattern, PIN, or password. The strongest protection is a complex, unique password consisting of a random combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, symbols, and numbers.
You can set two-factor authentication — also known as 2FA — to add more protection. How does it work? Once enabled, this form of verification gives you an extra layer of security by requiring two different codes from two different sources. After you submit a password, a code will be sent to your default phone via text or a call.
Only entering this code will give you access to an account. Two-step verification will provide that additional protection when, for instance, someone tries to access your Google account from another device. Hackers will need more than just your username and password credentials to infiltrate your data and devices. Is this necessary? The answer is yes. This tool gives you a backup plan to help keep your device and data safe when the unexpected happens.
To activate Find My Device, sign in to your Google account, be sure to have your location turned on, and follow these steps:. Android devices also offer more advanced security features that you can set up such as biometric authentication.
Newer Android phones have a fingerprint sensor you can set up. Fingerprints can offer more secure authentication and protection than passwords. To start, go to your security settings to register your fingerprint or prints. If so, it will keep it unlocked. Once you put your phone down, it will automatically lock. One downside is its inability to detect if your phone is passed to another person.
If your device has voice detection set up, you can use this feature to unlock your phone when it hears a trusted voice. The Safe Browsing feature in Google Chrome and other web browsers helps protect against websites that contain malware or phishing content.
Instead, the Android operating system does provide a solution for helping avoid unknown downloads. Several Android security features go above and beyond to help provide additional layers of security for your device and data. Perhaps one of the highest levels of protection resides in getting a security key. For example, if someone steals your passwords, they normally can access your accounts — but not if you have the protection of a security key.
While the Smart Lock for passwords and auto sign-in features can be handy, you should consider disabling them if you want to be able to lock down your phone. Consider taking the extra step of disabling Bluetooth when in public. Bluetooth lets your phone connect wirelessly with other devices, so it also may let others connect to your device without your permission. Downloading a password manager can be a big help in password management.
A password manager can help keep your passwords organized — and safe from hackers. Many password managers also will help you create strong, complex, and unique passwords.
