Apple smartphone owners should tighten their security settings in Settings to prevent their iPhone from being hacked quickly after theft. The recommendations were listed by the journalist of the publication 9to5Mac Michael Potak, after reports of increased iPhone theft on the streets and in public places.
The journalist advised not to rely entirely on Face ID, as there are flaws in the system. “This is definitely one of the ways to prevent theft, but this feature doesn’t always work and iOS asks for a password if Face ID doesn’t work,” the author said.
According to Potak, there are four effective ways to improve iPhone security. “Use Face ID or Touch ID in public places if possible, and also turn off the iPhone screen when you need to enter your password on the street, in a bar or in a cafe,” he said.
The journalist also urged people to switch to their own alphanumeric access codes instead of 4 or 6 digits. To do this, go to “Settings”, select “Face ID & Password” and click “Change Password”.
The author concluded by recommending deleting account passwords saved with iCloud Keychain or using a separate password manager such as 1Password. He explained that if he knows the password from the smartphone, the thief can access all the passwords in iCloud.
