Tips to Create A Good Pattern :

NEVER KEEP ALPHABET AS YOUR PATTERN:

Most of the people keep alphabet as the pattern locks which is very easy. Keep something design like Do not keep Letters of your name, surname, boy/girl friends name or so. It is very easy to guess. Keep some pattern which you only know and no one else can guess.

REVERSE THE DIRECTION OF DRAWING :

Even if you wish to keep an alphabet as your pattern atleast reverse the direction in which you draw. The direction should be proper in order to unlock the phone. If the direction is different then it becomes difficult to draw. For eg: You draw like 1→ 2→ 3→ 4→ 5→ 6→ 7→ 8→ 9. so reverse it like 9→ 8→ 7→ 6→ 5→ 4→ 3→ 2→ 1 or 9→ 8→ 7→ 4→5→6→3→2→ 1 like this Just don't keep the direction normal. Something different.

DO NOT USE ALL THE DOTS AVAILABLE :

When someone see you using all the dots he can easily guess on the basis of direction and no. of dots and there are some specific patterns which use all the dots. Such as S or G (see image above).

UNTICK ' USE VISIBLE PATTERN ' :

If you know there is an option known as use visible pattern in android phones. ( if you don't know Go in menu → Settings → Location & security → Screen Unlock in that Use visible Pattern ) 

What this feature is when you draw a pattern when you tick it the pattern can be seen. When you untick this option the pattern cannot be seen what you have drawn on the screen. If you make a mistake then it shows us but when it is right you cannot see anything on the screen.

So this thing is important. Untick the option.

NEVER TELL ANYONE YOUR PATTERN :

It usually happens that we tell our friends, brothers, sister or anyone we trust the pattern. And what happens they tell someone else. And that someone else tell the 4th person and slowly everybody come to know about it. It may be your trusted people but still. You might open the lock and give them the phone. But don't tell them the pattern. 

KEEP CHANGING THE PATTERN REGULARLY :

Changing pattern in a month is one of the good things and even reduces the risk. I might suggest it to change weekly but it depends upon you and data . So try to find out new pattern so that you never end up of patterns.

Thats all for these post. Hope it helps you and help you safeguard your personal, important data.
