To help protect your information if your phone gets lost or stolen, the Google Pay app requires a screen lock. If your device is locked, the Google Pay app can’t be opened.
- If your device has a screen lock set up, it’ll automatically become your app lock during setup.
- If your device doesn’t have a screen lock set up, add one during setup.
