If your device doesn't have a screen lock, the Lookout Life Lock will prevent access to your device until the code to unlock it is entered on the device itself. If you are using a screen lock, the Lookout Life lock will display a special screen to help you get your phone back. When you lock your device, you can enter a phone number, email address and custom message. Your device will still remain locked with your original screen lock. If you do not have a screen lock on your device, using Lookout Life's Lock feature will enable it automatically via the Android security settings using Lookout Life's PIN.
IMPORTANT-Please make note of this PIN as you will need to use it to unlock the device going forward. You can disable screen lock via the Android settings if you do not want screen lock.
