Apple’s iPhone Passcode Problem: 4-6 digits and a stolen phone ruin lives

I'm aware of that thank you for the confirmation

Nah you obviously need the clarity.


For further guidance, you’d have to do it on an android too if that was your COU.


Happy to provide you the help

the apple wallet stuff is idiotic to me, it already sucks losing a phone but now you got credit and debit cards inside it too? tf?

No you can’t. At best you can go into screen time and set up a second pin there then lock your account on the phone. At that point you’ll have to go into screen time and enter that pin to re-enable account changes.

If account changes are enabled on your phone just entering the pin on your phone is enough to change your Apple ID password. If you don’t believe me try it yourself on your phone and see what they ask before allowing you to change your password from it.

Once you have it set all you can only change the screen time passcode with Apple ID and Password or a Trusted Number.

I'd change the Trusted Number to your girl or spouse. If they have her shyt too you probably are in the middle of a kidnapping or something

That’s why I have a bomb on my phone that will explode in the wrong hands.

This happened to me last Saturday. I got my fukking phone stolen while I was outside in front of a store in the Dominican Republic.

The thief was on a bike and just snatched it out of my hand. They locked me out of Google and Hotmail the next day. I had an opportunity to lock the device/wipe it remotely but didn't because I was about to negotiate and try to get the dude to come back with it for $100 with the help of another spanish speaking Haitian breh. The thief actually never came as he probably felt it was a setup. I swear I'd pay to get this dumb nikka life ruined if I had the opportunity.



Now the fukker reset my AppleID password last night while my MSN email was still locked out from me. shyt stressed me out man nikka almost stole money out my bank accounts and crypto accounts.

This is why I went into screen time and locked account changes with a second pin number. It's so stupid that a single pin code can permanently lock you out of your Apple account unless you do that.

Yeah I should've done that. I think I'm not even going to add any cards to my apple wallet for my next phone. The fact that the thief can also add a recovery phrase is wild to me.

Its in Screen Time Content and Privacy Restrictions. Password Changes and Account Changes set to don't allow. You will also need a pin for Screen Time changes. You gonna have to remember that pin or else you'll be locked out of account changes.

The idiot may have told on himself. The theif used my Paypal through the service XOOM to send themselves money and used their real names and possibly address and phone number. Now I have something I can give to the breh over there to give to the police.

Hopefully you're that lucky but it could be a stolen PayPal account.

It was my Paypal because I called them and they said my Paypal had some transactions done and then the account was closed over the weekend which is not my doing. Now I have to recreate a new Paypal account smh.

I know with Xoom you have to use your real name to match your Gov ID as it won't allow the funds to be picked up at the office without it.
