[About] Screen lock

Updated on 16 June 2020

Your customer can prevent others from using their Google Glass by enabling screen lock from the settings bundle. Screen lock protects your customer's device by requiring a pattern of taps and swipes when Google Glass is turned on.

Google Glass will lock whenever your customer turns it off or when they put it down (if on-head detection is enabled). The next time that their Google Glass is activated, they can use the touchpad and personalised gestures to unlock the device. Here’s how:

  1. On the far left of your timeline, tap the settings bundle.
  2. Swipe forward and tap the Screen lock card.
  3. Tap or swipe four gestures to enter your pattern.

Available gestures

  • Swipe forward
  • Two-finger swipe forward
  • Swipe back
  • Two-finger swipe back
  • Hook swipe – Swipe forward then back in the same motion. Back and then forward works too.
  • Two-finger swipe.
  • Tap
  • Two-finger tap

Your customer can use any combination of swipe, hook swipe, or tap with one or two fingers. When creating a new pattern, they'll be asked to enter their pattern once more to confirm.

Change pattern or turn off screen lock

Your customer can also turn the screen lock off or change their pattern. Here’s how:

  1. On the far left of your timeline, tap the settings bundle.
  2. Tap the screen lock bundle.
  3. Tap Change pattern or swipe forward to Turn off.

Your customer will be asked to confirm their pattern before their new settings are saved.

Recovering a screen lock pattern

If your customer gets locked out after entering the incorrect code multiple times, they'll need to re-flash the device.
