When you open the application for the first time, you will have to choose the type of security credential you would like to apply. You can set up a complex password, a PIN, or a pattern. The app gives you an option for “none” if you do not want to employ any security credential, however, it is not recommended at all. After you set up your desired passcode, you will be asked to enter your email address so that if you forget your password at some point, you can recover it.

Now, you are ready to lock down your desired applications. Log into the application and select apps that you want to lock. There are different techniques to dodge snoopers as well.
