## 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.
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-Factor Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
[Multi-factor authentication](/wiki/multi-factor_authentication.md) can easily be set up on android
