#1. Keep Your Mobile Device Screen Locked
In order to use your mobile device safely for secured payment processing, you need to make sure that you keep it locked. There are too many security breaches and issues that are caused by people forgetting to lock their devices with a strong password or PIN.
Even when you are using your mobile device for personal purposes (making phone calls, sending emails, etc.), you should still modify the settings on the device to keep the screen locked for added protection. The last thing that you want is for someone to quickly gain access to your phone whenever you have it laying around in the house or out in public.
