Adding your Mi Account
After setting your password, you can choose to add your Mi Account. If you forget your App
lock password, you'll be able to reset it using Mi Account.
We strongly recommend adding your Mi Account if you use App lock. Unless you add your
account, you'll be able to reset your App lock password only by performing a factory reset.
Using fingerprints
You can use the fingerprints recorded on your device for App lock verification. You'll have
to confirm your password once again if you add a new fingerprint.
You won't be able to use fingerprints for App lock verification.
