A smartphone is a handheld personal computer
Enter the complete details of the tip you want to share.
The fingerprint sensor is by far the coolest, quickest, and most secure way to unlock your Galaxy S6, so dive into Settings > Lock screen and security > Screen lock type > Fingerprints and follow the onscreen instructions. You can always add more fingerprints later or remove fingerprints in the same menu. It makes a lot of sense to use your thumb if you want to be able to unlock the phone one-handed. You also have the option to set your backup password. At the bottom you’ll find two toggles that dictate whether you can use the fingerprint sensor for Web sign-in and to Verify Samsung account. That means you won’t have to enter passwords for either, you can simply scan your fingerprint instead.

Second Space for Personal Apps in Xiaomi Phone
Enter the complete details of the tip you want to share.
Having a dual-SIM phone is great, but, not being able to use multiple WhatsApp accounts on that phone is a wastage of resources. With the Redmi 5, you do not have to limit yourself to using just one account of popular apps. Enable the dual-apps functionality on your phone and you can have two separate WhatsApp, Facebook or any other supported app running in parallel. For Activate Second Space Just Do this Setting
Go to Setting -> Second Space -> Turn On Second Space
However, there are a number of limitations with the secondary account including the inability to access the phonebook on the phone, but, you can have a separate contacts library for that second account and have conversations with just a few selected people. It's just like having a separate professional and private account

Secure Your IPhone Passcode
Enter the complete details of the tip you want to share.
Rather than using the typical 4-digit or 6-digit passcode, you can make sure your IPhone is even more secure by using an alphanumeric passcode. An alphanumeric code allows the usage of both letters and numbers in the formation of a custom passcode. Thus, the use of an alphanumeric code allows for a nearly unlimited number of possible combinations.
This minor setting adjustment is simple to accomplish. First open the 'Settings' app on your IOS device. From there, tap the 'Touch ID and Passcode' option, followed by 'Change Passcode'. Once given the opportunity to submit a new passcode, tap 'Passcode Options' located above the keypad. In doing so, you will be offered further options for your passcode customization. From these options, select the 'Custom Alphanumeric Code' option, and enter your own custom code.
