## Improve Security and Privacy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Security and privacy are important topics, especially so when dealing with mobile phones.
|
||||||
|
This section focusses on improving them on a standard Android system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Elecronic Frontier Foundation recommends the following changes in their guide
|
||||||
|
[Guide](https://ssd.eff.org/module/how-to-get-to-know-android-privacy-and-security-settings).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [2FA](#multi-factor-authentication)
|
||||||
|
- A strong password (though the usage of biometrics is not recommended due to the possibility of
|
||||||
|
being physically forced to unlock a phone with them)
|
||||||
|
- Privacy permission
|
||||||
|
- Find my device
|
||||||
|
- Theft protection
|
||||||
|
- Google privacy checkup
|
||||||
|
- Backups (though the usage of them gives data to Google, so it may rather be turned off)
|
||||||
|
- Disable WEP networks
|
||||||
|
- Obscure lockscreen notifications
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The YouTube Channel 9to5Google also has a
|
||||||
|
[video on security and privcacy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eswIeNxSIqo) which additionally
|
||||||
|
suggest the following changes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Alert when clipboard is accessed
|
||||||
|
- Enable app pinnig
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Another option to add which may not improve security or privacy but improves usability - especially
|
||||||
|
if a difficult passphrase is used - is the enabling of "Extend Unlock".
|
||||||
|
There "Trusted Devices" can be set or the "On-body Detection" can be enabled.
