8 Securing your tablet and information

Tablet security is essential for protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your

information. Standard security solutions provided by the Windows operating system, HP applications,

the non-Windows Setup Utility (BIOS), and other third-party software can help protect your tablet from

a variety of risks, such as viruses, worms, and other types of malicious code.

IMPORTANT: Some security features listed in this chapter may not be available on your tablet.

Using passwords

A password is a group of characters that you choose to secure your tablet information and to protect

online transactions. Several types of passwords can be set. For example, when you set up your tablet

for the first time, you were asked to create a user password to secure your tablet. Additional

passwords can be set in Windows or in the HP Setup Utility (BIOS) that is preinstalled on your tablet.

You may find it helpful to use the same password for a Setup Utility (BIOS) feature and for a Windows

security feature.

Use the following tips for creating and saving passwords:

●

To reduce the risk of being locked out of the tablet, record each password and store it in a

secure place away from the tablet. Do not store passwords in a file on the tablet.

●

When creating passwords, follow requirements set by the program.

●

Change your passwords at least every three months.

●

An ideal password is long and has letters, punctuation, symbols, and numbers.

●

Before you send your tablet for service, back up your files, delete confidential files, and then

remove all password settings.

For additional information about Windows passwords, such as screen-saver passwords, swipe from

the right edge, and then tap Search. In the search box, type support, and then select the HP

Support Assistant app.
