[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1948797, member: 396914"] In iOS and iPadOS the key is to have a stronger password. Not too many folks are aware that if you go to Settings>Face ID & Passcode>Change Passcode there are multiple options there. Here is a screenshot: [ATTACH type="full"]40037[/ATTACH] From there you can create a stronger passcode than the default 4-Digit, even exending to alphanumeric. So if you are concerned about security on them, set a stronger passcode. Of course, when it's time to unlock you have to type in the longer passcode, but security isn't free, after all. And if you have FaceID turned on, then you can unlock most of the time with your face and not have to use the passcode very often. Anybody who steals your iDevice will have a harder time getting in. You can also turn on "Stolen Device Protection" that adds another layer of security in that you can set it to provide additional limits: [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/120340"]About Stolen Device Protection for iPhone - Apple Support[/URL] Now, if you are sufficiently paranoid, then no level of security is sufficient, but for most of us, Apple provides quite a bit of internal security.
