New iPhone Security Features to Protect Stolen Devices
Apple is rolling out a new “Stolen Device Protection” feature that seems well thought out:
When Stolen Device Protection is turned on, Face ID or Touch ID authentication is required for additional actions, including viewing passwords or passkeys stored in iCloud Keychain, applying for a new Apple Card, turning off Lost Mode, erasing all content and settings, using payment methods saved in Safari, and more.
