However, not all of these methods are secure as others.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the face unlock on many Android devices is surprisingly easy to fool. You may also have some Bluetooth devices that unlock the phone. The most secure Android unlocking methods are the PIN, pattern, and password.<\/p>\n<p>When you put the phone into \u201cLockdown,\u201d it disables all those less-secure unlock methods. The fingerprint scanner, face unlock, and Smart Lock are completely disabled. Only the\u00a0PIN, pattern, and password can be used.<\/p>\n<p>This is handy in a situation where you need to quickly secure your device. With a single tap, you can essentially add an extra layer of security.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Why Face ID Is Much More Secure Than Android&#8217;s Face Unlock<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Enable_Lockdown_Mode_on_Android\"><\/span>How to Enable Lockdown Mode on Android<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Lockdown feature is available on Android devices with version 9 and higher.
