Managing your unlock pattern with Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest headsets
Set up an unlock pattern and secure your Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest with an extra layer of security that you can use to prevent others from accessing your device or saved passwords.
You have two device lock options:
- None: Your device stays unlocked, so you can get into your device quickly.
- Unlock Pattern: Draw a pattern to unlock your device or access certain features while in-headset.
