The salesperson should have told me about that since she said she had Gmail and knew about 2SV on her own computer.

As I replied previously, locking the phone or screen or whatever gets locked sounds great, and the phone's online user's manual has info on that. If it's "the best protection" and seems doable on my own is ideal! But I've only read (a little) about that password app thing. Seems the best protection for *everything* on the phone, not just my Google account, is the lock.
