Stolen Device Protection adds security features to protect an iPhone and its user accounts if the device is stolen. When enabled, it requires biometric authentication for certain actions and a security delay before making changes when away from familiar locations like home or work. This is designed to prevent a thief from accessing information or changing settings if the iPhone is stolen. The additional security measures can also be set to always apply regardless of location. Stolen Device Protection must be turned on in the iPhone settings before the device is lost or stolen.

About Stolen Device Protection

for iPhone
Stolen Device Protection adds a layer of
security when your iPhone is away from
familiar locations, such as home or work,
and helps protect your accounts and
personal information in case your iPhone
is ever stolen.

When Stolen Device Protection is enabled, some


features and actions have additional security
requirements when your iPhone is away from
familiar locations such as home or work. These
requirements help prevent someone who has stolen
your device and knows your passcode from making

Text
critical changes to your account or device.

Face ID or Touch ID biometric


authentication: Some actions such as
accessing stored passwords and credit cards
require a single biometric authentication with
Face ID or Touch ID — with no passcode
alternative or fallback — so that only you can
access these features.
Security Delay: Some security actions such
as changing your Apple ID password also
require you to wait an hour and then perform
a second Face ID or Touch ID authentication.

In the event that your iPhone is stolen, the security


delay is designed to prevent a thief from
performing critical operations so that you can mark
your device as lost and make sure your Apple
account is secure. Learn what to do if your iPhone
is lost or stolen.

When your iPhone is in a familiar location, these


additional steps are not required, and you can use
your device passcode like usual. Familiar locations
typically include your home, work, and certain
other locations where you regularly use your
iPhone. If you choose, you can set up Stolen
Device Protection to always require these
additional security measures, even when your
iPhone is in a familiar location.

Stolen Device Protection is available with iOS 17.3


or later and must be turned on before the device is
lost or stolen.

How to turn Stolen Device Protection


on or off
To turn on Stolen Device Protection, you must use
two-factor authentication for your Apple ID and set
up or enable the following on your iPhone: a device
passcode; Face ID or Touch ID; and Significant
Locations* (Location Services).

You also need to have Find My turned on, and you


can't turn it off while Stolen Device Protection is
enabled.

You can turn on Stolen Device Protection in


Settings:

1. Go to Settings, then tap Face ID & Passcode.


2. Enter your device passcode.
3. Tap Stolen Device Protection, then turn
Stolen Device Protection on or off.

If you'd like your iPhone to enforce the additional


Stolen Device Protection security measures
regardless of its location, choose "Always" under
Require Security Delay. By default, the additional
security measures are required only when your
iPhone is away from familiar locations.

If you try to turn off Stolen Device Protection when


you’re not in a familiar location, a security delay
starts before you can turn it off. You should turn off
Stolen Device Protection before you sell, give
away, or trade in your iPhone.

How Stolen Device Protection


protects your device and accounts
When Stolen Device Protection is turned on,
certain actions have additional security
requirements when your iPhone is away from
familiar locations such as home or work.

Face ID or Touch ID biometric


authentication

With Stolen Device Protection, if your iPhone is


not in a familiar location, you must authenticate
with Face ID or Touch ID before you can take
certain actions, including the following:

Use passwords or passkeys saved in Keychain


Use payment methods saved in Safari
(autofill)
Turn off Lost Mode
Erase all content and settings
Apply for a new Apple Card
View your Apple Card or Apple Cash virtual
card number
Take certain Apple Cash and Savings actions
in Wallet (for example, Apple Cash or
Savings transfers)
Use your iPhone to set up a new device (for
example, Quick Start)

You can still use your iPhone passcode for


purchases with Apple Pay.

Security Delay

With Stolen Device Protection, you may also be


required to wait an hour before using your iPhone
to make changes to critical security settings or your
Apple ID. If your iPhone is not in a familiar
location, you must authenticate with Face ID or
Touch ID, wait for the security delay to end, then
authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID again to
update settings such as the following:

Change your Apple ID password


Sign out of your Apple ID
Update Apple ID account security settings
(such as adding or removing a trusted device,
Recovery Key, or Recovery Contact)
Add or remove Face ID or Touch ID
Change your iPhone passcode
Reset All Settings
Turn off Find My
Turn off Stolen Device Protection

If you use your iPhone to change your Apple ID


password, the location of your devices may not be
visible at iCloud.com for a period of time.

Your device may end the security delay early after


it detects that you’ve arrived at a familiar location.
