Scroll down to the Stolen Device Protection section, then tap Turn On Protection.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>With iOS 17.3 and later, you can activate Stolen Device Protection to protect against the rare instance when someone has stolen your iPhone and knows your passcode.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re away from familiar locations like home or work, Stolen Device Protection prevents the person from performing critical device and Apple ID account operations (like changing your device passcode or Apple ID password) by requiring biometric authentication with Face ID or Touch ID with no passcode fallback.<\/p>\n<p>When Stolen Device Protection is turned on, more sensitive operations require a Security Delay: a successful Face ID or Touch ID, an hour wait, then an additional successful biometric authentication. Security Delay helps prevent someone from making changes to settings that can lock you out of your iPhone or Apple ID account. These measures help protect your device and account, and give you more time to\u00a0turn on Lost Mode using the Find My app\u00a0or\u00a0Find Devices on iCloud.com.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fR600b

These requirements will help prevent someone who has stolen your device and knows your passcode from making critical changes to your account or device.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Face ID or Touch ID biometric authentication:\u00a0<\/strong>some actions, such as accessing stored passwords and credit cards, require a single biometric authentication with Face ID or Touch ID \u2013 with no passcode alternative or fallback option \u2013 so that only you can access these features.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Security Delay:\u00a0<\/strong>some security actions, such as changing your Apple ID password, also require you to wait for an hour and then perform a second Face ID or Touch ID authentication.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the event that your iPhone has been stolen, the security delay is designed to prevent a thief from performing critical operations so that you can\u00a0mark your device as lost and make sure your Apple account is secure.<\/p>\n<p>When your iPhone is in a familiar location, these additional steps will not be required and you can use your device passcode like normal. Familiar locations typically include your home, workplace and certain other locations where you regularly use your iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Stolen Device Protection is available on iOS 17.3 and must be turned on before the device has been lost or stolen.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800000;\">How Stolen Device Protection protects your device and accounts<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>When Stolen Device Protection has been enabled, certain actions will have additional security requirements when your iPhone is away from familiar locations, such as your home or workplace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Face ID or Touch ID biometric authentication<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>With Stolen Device Protection, if your iPhone is not in a familiar location, you must authenticate using Face ID or Touch ID before you can take certain actions, including the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use passwords or passkeys saved in Keychain<\/li>\n<li>Use payment methods saved in Safari (autofill)<\/li>\n<li>Turn off Lost Mode<\/li>\n<li>Erase all content and settings<\/li>\n<li>Apply for a new Apple Card<\/li>\n<li>View Apple Card virtual card number<\/li>\n<li>Take certain Apple Cash and Savings actions in Wallet (for example, Apple Cash or Savings transfers)<\/li>\n<li>Use your iPhone to set up a new device (for example, Quick Start)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"note\">Note that you can still use your iPhone passcode for purchases with Apple Pay.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Security Delay<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>With Stolen Device Protection, you may also be required to wait for an hour before using your iPhone to make changes to critical security settings or your Apple ID. If your iPhone is not in a familiar location, you must authenticate using Face ID or Touch ID, wait for the security delay to end, then authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID again to update settings such as the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Change your Apple ID password<\/li>\n<li>Sign out of your Apple ID<\/li>\n<li>Update Apple ID account security settings (such as adding or removing a trusted device, Recovery Key or Recovery Contact)<\/li>\n<li>Add or remove Face ID or Touch ID<\/li>\n<li>Change your iPhone passcode<\/li>\n<li>Reset All Settings<\/li>\n<li>Turn off Find My<\/li>\n<li>Turn off Stolen Device Protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you use your iPhone to change your Apple ID password, the location of your devices may not be visible at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/icloud.com\/\">iCloud.com<\/a>\u00a0for a period of time.<\/p>\n<p>Your device may end the security delay early after it has detected that you\u2019ve arrived at a familiar location.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How To Activate Stolen Device Protection on iPhone To Activate Stolen Device Protection on iPhone, Go to Settings, Tap Face ID &amp; Passcode, then enter your passcode.
