Having your mobile secured from the hands and eyes of others is essential. Our mobile phone has become a real personal and non-transferable agenda in which we keep all our data, personal photos, calendar appointments, even, thanks to the odd application, eating habits. And even if all our information goes to the cloud, not only files and data are at risk, but our personal integrity. Imagine that your mobile falls into the hands of some unscrupulous person and, through WhatsApp, impersonates your personality. It gives us chills just thinking about it.
That is why providing our mobile phone with all the security means available to it is essential. And it does not matter that our terminal is input range, as in the tutorial that concerns us today. Someone with bad intentions can do the same damage with a 150 euro terminal as with one of 1,300. So, today, we are going to teach you how to correctly configure your Xiaomi Redmi 5 and Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus so that it becomes a true armored box, thanks to the PIN number, the patterns and the registration of our fingerprint. These are all the necessary steps to correctly configure your pin, pattern and footprints in the named Xiaomi home range.
Change your PIN number, pattern and password on a Xiaomi Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus
There are different ways to secure your terminal with the MIUI system of Xiaomi mobiles. In this first section we are going to teach you to choose what we want to place to protect our terminal, whether a pattern, a PIN number or a password. You should know that the safest thing that exists is the password, but also the most cumbersome for unlocking. The least certain, the pattern, since when we make it on the screen, the drawing can be marked on the screen.
To configure these elements we go to 'System and device' - 'Lock screen and password' - 'Set screen lock'. We click on this last option and, to access this screen, we place the security system that we currently have. Now click on ' Change the screen lock to' and a small pop-up window will appear where we will select 'Pattern', 'PIN' or 'Password'. The PIN is a number between 4 and 16 digits and the password is to taste, being able to combine between numbers, symbols and characters.

Now it's the turn of fingerprint scanning. The step to follow is the same as in the previous point, we must access the 'Lock screen and password'. Here we must enter ' Manage footprints '. When clicking on this last option and to add a new fingerprint, we must enter the current security system that we have, be it pattern, PIN or password. Then, we will place and remove the finger on the fingerprint sensor until the fingerprint is completely registered. So we will repeat with all the fingers we want, also putting the name that we have on each finger.
In this way you will have your Xiaomi mobile perfectly insured. It is also convenient that, from time to time, you change the pattern, PIN or password for greater security reinforcement.
