I just went to set up a screen time passcode after reading the article… you are limited to a four digit code. It does limit the number of attempts you can make, but I can’t believe a four digit code is all that’s standing in the way of total account ruin.
- danso 3y agoThat seems like it should be enough protection. The goal of most thieves is to drain your bank account/Apple Pay. Changing your account password gives them more time to take advantage of your account, but most of them aren't interested in doing a deep dive in your personal life, or care that you're locked out of your Apple account. A rate-limited 4-digit passcode gives you breathing room to login to your Apple account and report your phone as stolen.
