Stolen Device Protection: Biometric Authentication to Enhance Security
iOS 17.2 introduces a beta feature called Stolen Device Protection, a response to concerns raised by the Wall Street Journal about the vulnerability of iPhone passcodes. This feature requires additional biometric authentication, such as Touch ID or Face ID, for actions like accessing passwords, applying for Apple Card, erasing or resetting a phone, and enabling lost mode. Biometrics plus an hour of waiting time is required for actions like changing Apple ID passwords, adding new biometric data, and adjusting certain settings.
