CHAPTER 23

Keeping Your Information Private

Limiting the number of password attempts

You can set the number of incorrect password attempts that are allowed before selected
information is deleted from your handheld. This feature, called intrusion protection, protects
sensitive information from an intruder who uses an automated means to try every possible
combination until the password is found. Use intrusion protection if you keep highly confidential
information on your handheld.

If you limit the number of password attempts, be sure to use Quick Unlock to

prevent accidental password attempts while your handheld is in a purse or pocket.
