In This Post, you are going to Learn how you Password Protect Termux by just using a single command and after this post, no one will be able to use your Termux without your permission.

When we use Termux we install multiple packages as well as GitHub projects that help us do all sorts of hacking, sniffing, information gathering But it also contains important information of us like Public IP, Open ports, etc. all the tools in termux create come level of vulnerability in your system like turning Debugging mode on or turning on hotspot opening ports. If someone knows what you are doing there or more chance of your getting hacked then you will hack them (of course not in all case). Sometimes people use your phone to do attacks on other's systems to protect themself from getting caught. ( like people can use SMS bombing attacks  carelessly and can flood someone's phone for revenge ).
