screen lock
Phone access barrier
Screen lock is a security feature that restricts access to a device until authentication is provided—typically a PIN, password, pattern, or biometric scan.
The term applies to phones, tablets, and computers.
I set a screen lock so my kids can't get into my phone.
The lock activates after a period of inactivity or when manually triggered.
