Even today, losing a mobile phone (or personal account) means practically losing all the information about yourself. After all, modern gadgets store a lot of confidential data about you: from personal photos and correspondence to credit card information, passwords and even your home address. What to do in this case? There are 2 ways. The first is to use the "old dialer" which is not even a hundredth of the tasks we need. The second is to protect yourself from hackers, thieves and other lewd persons who do simple actions that we'll tell you about.

Location tracking apps do set
Most modern smartphones have the task of tracking geolocation data. We've already told you about options like Find My Device, however, you can use third-party services that are no worse (and better) that manufacturers offer you "out of the box". In addition to the built-in security systems, try applications like mSpy. Additional location tracking tools are never redundant.

Set a normal password on the phone
Yes, it sounds great. At the same time, many users set a password to unlock the device, except that they use extremely simple combinations like "1111" or "0503". They are easy to remember and easy to enter with closed eyes. But just pick the same password and just pick it up. So an attacker can take advantage of it. Don't forget that it's better to use biometric sensors if your smartphone has biometric sensors. It is much more reliable.

Use the remote wipe function
If your smartphone is still missing, it is better to quickly delete all data while not delaying them so that they don't get the attackers. First, make sure you download the Find My Device app from the Google Play Store, install it and register your phone in it. It should be done in advance. So, if you have not done it yet, it is the right time to do it. Then, if you lose your phone, go to this webpage and sign in to your Google Account. Here you can accurately locate your phone's location on the map and remotely erase all the data.

Use VPN
We turn to security when we are in the network. Even if you are a very clean and attentive user, tap on viruses, Trojans that steal your data or phishing service is very easy. Therefore, the installation of not only special antivirus software is suitable for such purposes, but also the use of VPN services.

This will allow you to use an encrypted internet connection to hide your identity. Thus, your IP address and MAC address cannot be used with theft and malicious intent. There are a lot of services on the Internet that provide this feature. Just go to Google Play, enter a VPN in the search bar and choose what you like best.
