Keeping your Terminal secure

To protect your device and the data on it, you can enable a screen lock and set your own passcode. The first time you set up your Terminal, you will be asked to select a passcode. This can be skipped and set up later in the Terminal settings. 

To keep your Terminal secure and up to date, make sure you’re using the latest version of our software. Read more about how to update the software of your Terminal
