Your iPhone password, better to use it privately if you don’t want to lose everything

As you know and we have suffered during the pandemic, when Face ID or Touch ID does not work properly, the iPhone asks us for the passcode, which can be 4 or 6 digits. By the way, I strongly recommend that it be 6 digits. Let’s make it difficult. However, using the code in public may bring us bad experiences when our mobile is stolen. With this code you can access everything that we have locked on the phone, which today is almost all of our life. That’s why it’s best to follow these safety tips.

Face ID and Touch ID is a technology that aims to increase the security of our terminal by not being able to access it or certain applications and services without certain biometric data. In the first case, the shape of our face predetermined by the eyes and in a second case by the imprint of one of our fingers. If unsuccessful, we find a numeric code that we must enter. The fact is that the latest thefts that take place in the United States (so it will soon be exported around the world) are that the thieves are waiting for the user to enter the unlock code. With this, when the mobile is stolen, they can access certain data but above all they can change the Apple ID and thus return the iPhone completely to them. They will have access to locked keys, passwords and apps.

To do this, you can implement a series of security measure so that in case this happens to you, the damage can be minimized:

1. Do not save to iCloud Keychain important passwords like bank keys. To do this, buy a third-party application with its own independent access system from the digital key of the iPhone.
2. Do not enter the code among many unknown people. Try to somehow cover the screen when you type it. You can even buy one of these spy shields. Of course, the position of the fingers marks the way, so you can use both hands when typing and that raises doubts.
3. Change the access code. It goes from a numeric to an alphanumeric. PTo do this, go to Settings > FaceID & passcode > change passcode > choose options > alphanumeric passcode.
4. Don’t forget to activate the two-factor authentication in the Apple ID account. With this we can avoid many frights and upheavals.
