It is very important for iPad owners to keep their devices protected all the time. Apple recommends that users setup a passcode to keep their device secure when it is turned on. Every time the iPad is turned on, it asks for a passcode that only the owner will remember. In addition to letting users create a general passcode, iPad also lets users password protect different apps for an additional layer of security.
