What is a panic PIN?

A panic PIN is a second PIN, if someone makes you unlock. It deletes the keys and the history, and this cannot be undone.

Step by step

  1. Open the menu.
  2. Tap „Phone protection“.
  3. Turn on „Panic deletion“.
  4. Type a PIN in the „PIN“ field.
  5. Type the same one in „Repeat PIN“.
  6. Tap „Save“.
  7. Remember this PIN.
  8. It needs at least 4 characters.

When someone makes you

  1. Leave the screen „Semanty is locked“.
  2. Enter the panic PIN instead of a face or a finger.
  3. It looks like an ordinary opening.
  4. Instead, the keys are deleted.
  5. The history is deleted too.
  6. What is deleted does not come back.
  7. The lock turns on by itself.

Good to know

  • This PIN does not unlock Semanty.
  • You use it on the unlock screen.
  • You type it instead of a face or a finger.
  • If it is shorter than 4 characters, it is not saved.
  • Then it says „The PIN must be at least 4 characters“.
  • If the two fields do not match, it is not saved.
  • Then it says „The two fields do not match“.
  • „Panic mode“ in the settings is a different thing.
  • There, only the ordinary text is hidden.
  • With it, nothing is deleted.
  • The stranger face also does not delete the keys.
