Apple today launched a new tool for iPhones to help reduce what a thief with your phone and passcode can access. The feature, called Stolen Device Protection, adds extra layers of protection to your iPhone when someone tries to access or change sensitive settings on your device.
Odd that biometric authentication is needed when it’s worse from a security standpoint.
The alternative is a separate passcode that many people will forget.
