Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Tips & Warnings:
- Choose simple PIN codes so that you won't forget them, but don't make it too easy that others can figure it out. Avoid using your birthday if possible.
- Should you ever forget your password, you would need to do a hard reset. This means losing all of your important information. Write it down and store it somewhere safe, away from prying eyes so that you can always consult it should you need to.
