Abstract
Systems, apparatus, and methods for managing an application installed on a mobile device, such as a mobile phone are provided, so as to prevent or limit unauthorized use of the application, for example, when the mobile device is lost, stolen, or otherwise subject to unauthorized use. An input indicative of a password to access the application can be received. It may be determined that a predetermined number of password entry attempts has been reached based on the input. A request message to disable access to the application can be transmitted from the mobile device to a remote computer. One or more lock instructions for disabling access to the application can be received by the mobile device from the remote computer. The one or more lock instructions can be executed by the mobile device by modifying control data within a secure memory of the mobile device.
