What security measures do you use on my mobile?
I must confess to being lax on security, in that I have so far never locked my kaiser with a password.
Yesterday, I thought I had lost my kaiser and immediately thought how foolish I had been, since anyone picking it up would have immediate access to my email accounts. I was so relieved when I found it.
The reason why i have been so lax is probably pure laziness on my part, i.e. I don't particularly want to have to keep keying a password number in every few minutes. I would be interested to know what other people on here do - i.e. do you password protect your device, or are you just as lazy (as potentially as foolish!) as I am?

Sad to say there is only the SIM lock on mine - but it does never leave my side.

Re: What security measures do you use on my mobile?
Admittedly lazy and potentially foolish.... Not even the sim lock... I almost sleep with mine... He sleeps on the nightstand on his side so I can see him when I open my eyes... This allows me to see how many new emails I have greeting me, as well as any potentially important text messages I may get from a dying server or failing ups...

Glad that there is someone worse than me, but again mine is on the bedside table as it is my premier alarm program.

Re: What security measures do you use on my mobile?
yeah, I spend so much time resolving other issues that mine have to wait weeks before I can attend to them... I still haven't fixed my NAS issue or my XP box...
I have a great alarm clock, so I rarely use the alarm application... (ooops, correction, I have it set to wake me up on the train, so I don't miss my stop after my daily nap... yes, I am getting old...)
okay, back OT

I've stopped p/w protecting my device. If you lose it how will an honest finder ( !) know who to return it to ?

Re: What security measures do you use on my mobile?
This program sounds like it may be of help.
Basically if your device goes missing you can set it to hard reset from afar.
There is a link to the devs page in here

Re: What security measures do you use on my mobile?
I don't use any secuity either and never have, pure laziness for me too, I don't want the hassle of punching in a number each time I use the device!

Re: What security measures do you use on my mobile?
I'm afraid I am the same, but I do have Pocket Secure loaded and set to run after a soft reset, and the HR 'timeout' to 5 attempts.
Rick- Pocket Secure can be set to show any owner info text so a genuine 'finder' could contact you.
