Android has allowed multiple user accounts in Lollipop, called Guest Mode that works on phones also. You can create a guest account, or if you and family member share a device, you can create an account for each of you, keeping all your things separate and secure. Only you can log into your account and phone, and you can now use an Android watch to unlock your phone through proximity.

Screen Pin Feature

When this feature is enabled, you can lock down your device to whatever app is on-screen, no matter how many times you press the Home soft key. So a person using it only has access to one app whatever app is on-screen.

Smart Lock

When enabled, you can lock down your device to whatever app is on-screen, no matter how many times you press the Home soft key. So a person using it only has access to one app whatever app is on-screen. This means that if you’re connected to a known Bluetooth device or near a pre-programmed NFC card, you don’t have to bother entering your pattern, PIN, or password. Also included is a face unlock feature that continually scans the user’s face instead of analyzing a snapshot at the moment of unlocking.
