Searching through the phone is something I think only the owner should do and they can unlock it.

Today View and Search – I recommend OFF.

If I turn off the phone, put it down and walk out of the room, there is no reason why I’d want anyone else to be able to pick it up and have it unlocked, for any amount of time.įinally, we come to the last section of this settings page.

Require Passcode – I’d recommend it set to IMMEDIATELY. Yes, you will get a notification on your watch when unlock happens but… why be in this situation to begin with? I feel that having this feature enabled compromises the security of your phone too much and suggest setting it to OFF. Someone can grab your phone and just unlock it.

Think of the scenario where this is set to ON, and you leave your locked phone in a cubby at the gym and are exercising within the Bluetooth range (your watch is unlocked and, on your wrist). The next feature is Unlock with Apple Watch. Require Attention for Face ID specifically should increase the robustness of your Face ID process by requiring you to look at your phone to make sure that Face ID is accepted. Unless you require this for a specific reason, my suggestion is to have this set to OFF as it lowers the accuracy / security of your Face ID:Ĭontinuing, we have two attention related features for Face ID, both of which I enable. Next up is a feature that enables use of Face ID with a Mask. (Yup, I have 33 apps currently installed that use Face ID. You might have to launch the banking app and go to its settings to enable it to use Face ID, but then it should show up here. All your installed banking and electronic payment apps should be in this section, and you should enable Face ID for them all. Other Apps – here you will see various other apps that can be enabled for Face ID.

Password AutoFill – this forces Face ID when passwords are accessed on Apple Keychain (passwords you saved when iOS asked you if you wanted to save them).

Depending on your home devices, you could even have a home or car key in Apple Wallet so that could be accessible too!

Wallet & Apple Pay – if this does not require Face ID, anyone holding your phone can make purchases using Apple Pay without ID challenge.

iTunes & App Store – this is really to protect you from let’s say a child (who might handle your phone) from buying something from the store or you accidentally subscribing to a service.

My recommendation is to have all those things set to ON: Let’s start from the top and scroll down first is the section talking about what Face / Touch ID should be used for.

If that is the case, go to Screen Time and temporarily allow changes to Account and Password Changes, then come back, tap on it, and follow along. Note: if you followed my earlier recommendation to not allow changes to Accounts and Password Changes via the Screen Time feature, you might not see Face ID & Passcode setting anymore at all under your phone Settings. I am talking about this stuff under Settings: In my experience, Face ID is so fast and accurate as a sign-in mechanism that there is very little downside to running a phone in a more secure fashion. The Face ID (or Touch ID, depending on your phone) and lock screen behavior settings are something that everyone should really pay attention to, as setting some of those things wrongly can result in data or financial loss in case your iOS device is lost or stolen.

This article focuses on iOS but the idea behind it should apply to Android also. Most users accept default settings for their devices and do not necessarily realize what the effect of different settings might be. Do you go and seek out changed settings to understand what they do or what you should change? As a result – is your device as secure as it should be? Have you ever noticed that when you got a new phone, you did not get some sort of “recommended settings” guide? Additionally, even if you did dig deep and understand various settings your phone has, as phones get updated, new settings get added.
