Ghacks shows you how to secure Windows Phone with a delayed password

One of the problems with Windows Phone when the operating system was first released was that while you could secure your phone with a passcode it was either all or nothing. This meant that you either had to type in a passcode every single time you wanted to do anything on your phone or it never asked you for a password at all. I know this was of great concern to many people, including myself. Fortunately with the latest version 7.5 update Microsoft have fixed this issue with the operating now able to turn the passcode on after a period of inactivity.

This is not a widely advertised feature though and there’s no information before, during or after you update your phone to even let you know it exists. I thought, with my new found ability to get screenshots on my own Windows Phone, that I’d write a short tutorial here for you on how to use this very useful, if not essential, new feature.
