TOUCH ID AND Face ID are hard to fool, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't add more security to your iPhone and iOS 17 makes it fairly easy to make your iPhone more secure. We're saying "fairly easy" because as you'll see, the settings aren't all stored in the same place, so you need to go on a bit of a security safari to use them all.
The bulk of these features are designed to limit the information that others can access, but some are specifically for preventing a lost or stolen iPhone from becoming an even bigger nightmare. So what should you do if your iPhone gets misplaced? Using another Apple device or a web browser and www.iCloud.com, go into Find My and see if you can locate it. From Find My you can also activate features such as Lost Mode. This displays your contact information on screen for the person who finds it to use; if you fear the worst, you can instead choose to remotely lock and wipe your iPhone here too.
HOW TO Protect your iPhone's data
1 Start your search
iOS's security settings are stored in several places. Let's start in Settings > Your Name > Sign-in & Security, which provides access to various key features. Select Two-Factor Authentication, which should already be switched on.
2 Use a key
For maximum security, enabling Use Security Keys replaces the usual security code with a physical security key. Such keys look like USB flash drives and you can get Apple to mandate their use any time you sign in with your Apple ID.
