     52 Apple recently announced a [37]Stolen Device Protection feature for iOS 17.3.
     53 With the new OS finally released Monday, the safety feature is now available to
     54 be activated on your devices. Here’s how to turn it on.

     77 First, you want to make sure to update the [48]iPhone to the latest 17.3
     78 version. Then go to Settings, scroll down to Face ID & Passcode, look for
     79 Stolen Device Protection, and turn the toggle switch on. It’ll take a few
     80 seconds.

     84 The feature aims to apply a couple of layers of security so that someone who
     85 gets access to your passcode can’t get a hold of your entire digital life.
     86 That’s a pretty dangerous thought considering a thief could easily glance at
     87 your screen while you’re unlocking your device, and then strategically plan the
     88 theft.

     92 The passcode vulnerability is a big one because having that can let someone
     93 else change your Apple ID password, and Apple ID is crucial for accessing the
     94 Find My app when your iPhone goes missing.

     97 
     98 One of the ways in which the Stolen Device Protection feature helps is by
     99 making you enter your biometrics (Face or Touch ID) when you’re trying to
    100 change your Apple ID password at a place that your device doesn’t recognize as
    101 either your home or workplace. It does this once and then it makes you re-enter
    102 your biometrics one hour later for that extra layer of security and confirm
    103 that it’s really you.
    104 
    105 You’d also need to enter your biometrics twice with a one-hour delay to change
    106 your recovery key and iCloud keychain, which is the place where all your
    107 passwords are saved. Also, of course, you need to use your biometrics to turn
    108 the Stolen Device Protection feature off too, or the feature would be
    109 practically useless.
