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

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

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

||

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

||

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