Passwords on Smart Phones and Tablets Using ActiveSync<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cell phones and tablets which synchronize e-mail and calendar events with the college\u2019s O365 Exchange server use a feature called ActiveSync in order to perform this function.\u00a0 ActiveSync provides the user with access to server-based e-mail, the calendar and the address book (to find contact information for Trinity e-mail users).<\/p>\n

In order to safeguard access to this potentially sensitive information, all staff and faculty phones and tablets configured to use ActiveSync will have certain security options enabled.\u00a0 These are having a PIN and Auto-Lock.\u00a0 It is particularly important that users of such devices be familiar with the following details.<\/p>\n

(We recommend all phone users set a password, even if they\u2019re not using ActiveSync.)<\/p>\n

PIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

A PIN is a numerical password set on the phone that prevents unauthorized access.\u00a0 Functioning similarly to a password on a computer, it needs to be entered on the device before it can be used.\u00a0\u00a0 (Making an emergency call on a smartphone is always possible, even without entering the PIN.)<\/p>\n

The PIN must be a minimum of four numbers long.\u00a0 Users need to select PINs that will be remembered without the need to write it down, yet be complex enough to avoid successful guessing.\u00a0\u00a0Avoid repeating a single digit as in 7777, or common sequences such as\u00a01234,\u00a0or 2468.<\/p>\n

To set a PIN on a smartphone, follow these directions:<\/p>\n

Apple iOS:\u00a0 Click on\u00a0Settings<\/strong>\u00a0and select\u00a0General<\/strong>.\u00a0 Scroll down and select\u00a0Passcode Lock<\/strong>.\u00a0 Select\u00a0Turn Passcode On<\/strong>, and enter a four-digit passcode.\u00a0 Re-type the passcode to confirm.<\/p>\n

Android:\u00a0 [Android menus options\u00a0vary slightly, so the entries may not be exactly what is identified here.]\u00a0 From the home screen, click the menu button and select\u00a0Settings<\/strong>.\u00a0 Select\u00a0Security<\/strong>\u00a0(sometimes named\u00a0Location & Security or Security & Privacy),\u00a0followed by\u00a0Screen Lock<\/strong>, and\u00a0PIN<\/strong>.\u00a0 Enter a PIN, press continue and re-enter it to confirm.\u00a0\u00a0Select\u00a0OK<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Auto-Lock<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smart Phones and Tablets will automatically lock after 15 minutes of non-use.\u00a0 After this period, the device will require the users to re-enter the PIN to use it again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
