If your locked phone is picked out of your pocket or bag, your passcode will prevent thieves from getting into it. This is a basic security feature that keeps your phone’s contents safe until you can take extra steps, such as remotely wiping or bricking it with one of Apple’s other security features. But what if a thief has spotted you entering your pin? Or the unlocked phone is snatched straight from your hand?
A thief with access to your unlocked phone could theoretically get into sensitive apps and even lock you out of your iCloud account, preventing you from using features like Find My iPhone, enabling lost mode, and wiping the phone remotely. But there is something you can do to avoid being locked out.

Enabling the phone’s “Screentime” setting and checking the option that prevents account changes can keep your iCloud account secure. To do this, go to Settings > Screentime > Content and Privacy restrictions before selecting “don’t allow account changes.” A separate PIN can also be set for the screentime settings, so even if the thief has your device’s main PIN they won’t be able to mess with your account settings. This whole process takes less than a minute and can save you heaps of trouble should your phone fall into the wrong hands.
