How to Add a Password to Imessage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Securing Your Imessages<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Want to ensure your conversations through Imessage are secure? You can add a password to your Imessage account that will protect your conversations from being seen by unwanted third parties. Here\u2019s an easy step-by-step guide on how to do it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open your Imessage app, then open the \u2018settings\u2019 tab<\/li>\n<li>From this tab, scroll down to find \u2018Passcode\u2019 and click on it<\/li>\n<li>Choose \u2018Turn Passcode On\u2019 and select a four-digit passcode of your choice<\/li>\n<li>A pop-up will show allowing you to enter the code twice to confirm it<\/li>\n<li>After entering the code twice, you should be brought back to the settings tab. You now have a password protecting your Imessages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also enable \u2018Touch ID\u2019 to allow for a finger-print lock instead of a numerical code. To enable touch ID, scroll back to the passcode settings then select \u2018Turn Touch ID On\u2019. This will allow you to access your Imessages using your thumbprint instead of setting a numerical passcode.<\/p>\n<p>Should you forget your passcode, you can reset it by entering your Apple ID and resetting it to a new passcode. However, you will be unable to access messages received while a passcode was enabled.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3-steps-for-securing-your-imessage\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Steps_for_Securing_Your_Imessage\"><\/span>3.
