I don't want to put a password on my phone because it's a pain to keep entering in the password every time I want to use it.

But I'm afraid that someone could go into my phone and set up a password, thus making me unable to use it. Is there a way to place a restriction on setting a password so I don't have to worry about that?

I also have the email account linked to my phone so I could get a text if my email password is missing. But someone who has possession of my phone could easily get that text sent and gain access to my email, facebook, etc.
I thought about disabling the text feature, but I do want to have that handy just in case. The only problem is that it's so easy for someone to get access to email using that. Is there a way to make sure that that particular text coming from my email account cannot be read until a password is entered?

I know I might seem slightly paranoid, but this has happened to me in the past and I was lucky it was just some friends playing a prank on me. But I want to be prepared in the future in case there is actually someone looking to gain access to my accounts.

So basically you are looking for a solution to put a password to protect a password on your phone from being read by anyone else. Wow, you are making your life so difficult. What if you also forgot the password? Your case is hopeless. Stop using your phone as a means to access forgotten password if you are that paranoid. Go back to the old ways. Just list down your password on paper and stick it under your bed, table or chair.

people like that usually have topics with jealousy. not a competent element in any respect. next element you realize he's following you each and each the position and probably even exhibiting up at your artwork and doing issues that positioned your pastime in risk to boot as you in risk in all different settings. do not enable this to ensue to you. people, male to boot as lady, who do such issues as that usually finally end up doing something which will scare the jeebies out of you if not damage you or worse.
