Today, in our mobile phones we accumulate a large amount of information derived from the use of these small devices. We use different applications, which accumulate data in the form of cache in the terminal, photos and videos , contacts , text or email messages and a long etcetera are some of them..
Due to the personal nature of the information we have mentioned, it is true that in some occasions some alternatives are sought to add an extra layer of security to them. In some terminals there is a second space, which works in parallel to the main space and which can be accessed through a different security pattern or key to the one we have assigned in the main space.
In most cases, users do not usually resort to a second space but to an unlock key. In the most modern terminals, this key or pattern has evolved to a more personalized system such as protecting the screen unlock with a fingerprint, which adds an extra security to be the unique and non-transferable fingerprint. For this reason today in TechnoWikis we will explain how to put a fingerprint and configure it in one of the most popular high-end Android terminals at this time: The Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro..
