🛡️ Senior Mobile Safety & Scam Defense Guide

🔒 1. Biometric Passwords & Device Locking: Enable FaceID or Fingerprint authentication on your smartphone. Avoid simple PINs like 1234. Set screen timeout to 1 minute.

⚠️ 2. Text & Call Scam Warnings: Never share 6-digit SMS verification codes, SSN, or banking passwords over text or phone. Bank representatives will never ask for passwords.

🆘 3. Lock Screen Emergency Contacts: Configure Medical ID on iPhone or Emergency Contacts on Android so first responders can access emergency contact numbers without unlocking.
