I don’t understand most of the comments regarding IOS version. I am on 18.2 and the instructions in the video work perfectly and I have Family Sharing turned on (which is really not part of this at all but others seemed to think it did. Nice video).
Great- now I completely lost access to password keeper and Robinhood. WTF…it says can’t access with Restrictions, even after allowing them at all time. Had to turn off screen time for them to show up again.
Also do the following Settings / Screen Time / Content & Privacy Restrictions / ALLOW CHANGES: besides Account Changes = Don't Allow do these below too Passcode Changes. = Don't Allow Mobile Data Changes = Don't Allow - And make sure the code is not stored in Notes. - Safari and other browsers did not saved your iCloud passcode. - Your banking login (via a browser) has not saved your login name and passcode. - Your banking app is using a different passcode then the one you use to unlock the phone - enable stolen device protection
@@garethalstonalso helpful, also happens that if you try to open the app, if the face isn’t recognized after a few trials, it requests for password that was already gotten by the supposed thief, which still goes back to “square 1”
Great show today! Super helpful! Not sure why some people are having trouble. I have iOS 18.1.1 and it works perfectly! Update: I did find out that you can’t directly access this setting if the phone is controlled by a parent. I had to disable access to AppleID for my daughter’s phone through my phone! HTH!
Excellent option, thank you Daniel. An issue is coming up where I live where, when people die, the executors cannot access the deceased’s accounts to close them. Perhaps a subject for discussion in the future?
In the menus there is legacy contact access key that the person fills out before they die that can be printed out so the family can access there iPhone
I’m not sure the process on the video is 100% identical on iOS 18.2, but it's close enough to look within that screen time settings grouping to figure it all out. It took me a few minutes but I got it to work as described and can reverse it at any time with my 16 Pro and my wife's 13 Pro. I love the simplicity of this approach- bad guys can’t even TAP ON your account to start changing anything. Forcing them to know where to look for this hack and how to deal with yet ANOTHER passcode will likely frustrate many of them to just trash your phone, which is at least better than using it to rip you off further.
I think this is very helpful, but also very deceiving. You say it is for sure secured and will stop anyone from accessing the apple id login info. yet , on minute 1:19, you make a comment about how this extra step will protect you even if someone that is always around steals the phone and they had seen you input the code, but you also mention and I quote “ if some one steals and demands the passcode” so if someone is actually present demanding the lock screen passcode, what will stop them from demanding the secondary passcode? I do think your video is helpful, but lacks a little transparency or maybe you need to make it clear this extra level of “security”will not protect you if someone is there to either use your face to unlock or forcing you to spill the beans. just my humbled opinion.
I already use screen time to stop access to my Apple account and Face ID, and when turn on iPhone, many use 4-6 digit code. but I use long letter worded passcode, and I have activated erase all content on my iPhone if passcode is entered 10 times.
@@jmalloy2202 as a matter of fact it doesn't, a simple 6-digit number gives you a 1 in a million guessing chance, and an iPhone does not allow brute force attacks, so by default it will be locked after 10 failed attempts. 99.99% of hackers won't be able to hack it, they will just sell it for parts.The other 0.01% who own the specialised equipment, they will just open your phone bypassing the passcode. You need to be vigilant, but getting paranoid about it won't help with anything.
I have done this step but since i have family sharing, my apple id and my entire family apple id is still visible. Any way i can hide or restrict the access of it?
I agree. I am running 18.2 on an iPhone 15 and I cannot turn screen tune on or off. Update your video and just one more hint. Stop saying GO HEAD and instead say GO Ahead. Go head means to go to the toilet on a ship, while GO Ahead means to proceed to the next step or procedure. This error is very common among RUclipsrs (but I cannot forgive them for the error!
This is for prior iOS 17 I guess. Now with device protection enabled apple id is accessible only by face id (hoping terminology is correct)and not phone passcode.
Yup, just use Stolen Device Protection. However, that still needs improvement imo because the location setting is weird. What option is there if you have touch ID?
@ with more layers of security, like you suggest, both touch id and face ID would create inconvenience. Imagine like even alphanumeric password is kinda drag. I think it’s a good sweet spot. Not too insecure and not too inconvenient.
This makes no sense. Someone can also force you to re enable or disable screen time password the same way they would ask you to enter your phones password, so this is pointless. Either way you win because you still get comments and views on the video so keep going!
Hmmm .. so you have never entered your passcode in a public place? There are eyes around you…and recording devices. Overhead closed circuit, and others with cellphones.

This was really really helpful and it adds another level of security to an already safe OS.. Very grateful! 👍
Awesome! This works great! Thank you for this!
Also do the following
Settings /
Screen Time /
Content & Privacy Restrictions /
ALLOW CHANGES:
besides Account Changes = Don't Allow
do these below too
Passcode Changes. = Don't Allow
Mobile Data Changes = Don't Allow
- And make sure the code is not stored in Notes.
- Safari and other browsers did not saved your iCloud passcode.
- Your banking login (via a browser) has not saved your login name and passcode.
- Your banking app is using a different passcode then the one you use to unlock the phone
- enable stolen device protection
Or you could just lock certain apps like banking/notes behind Face ID as you can do that now also

I can confirm this works and is a great feature to use for safety. Using an iPhone 16 Pro and an iPhone SE (2nd gen) both running iOS 18.2. No issues.
This is great! Thanks for the tip :)
Excellent option, thank you Daniel.

In the menus there is legacy contact access key that the person fills out before they die that can be printed out so the family can access there iPhone
Get the person to outline in their Will the pass codes to all locked accounts /devices
To be really save you protect “Code & Face ID” in the same manner-always!
That prevents access to control center from Lock Screen
Nice job on this
video!!
Thank you !! Solved my problem 😊
Great info! Thanks!
Is this necessary if you have stolen device protection enabled?

Is there not a way to also lock the ‘Family’ sharing, underneath?
Thanks mate great tip I’m definitely going to use this
Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤
Fantastic security option !! Thank you for this.👍🏽
Thank you so much!
There is a time delay to change passwords. once requested it locks out for an hour
Great tip thanks i wasn't aware of this.
That's a great security enhancement Daniel, thanks for sharing. I've passed your video to my family and friends.
Amazing!!!
Works on iPad Pro. Great job
Perfect, Thank you !
Thank you for this video.
Show how to do same on M1 MacBook Pro laptops - please :)
It’s the same you do in the iPhone 😊
@@Whatareyoutalkingabout-i4s
oh really?
no, it is not the same
Thanks for the video. Charge your phone! lol
That is helpful thanks
lol this happend to me, i could not access my account, and you made it a feature 😂 great , interesting idea
I have the delay thingy
super

Same here i use a non-numeric passcode for iPhone instead of numeric digits
@ of course it matters

WOW VERY COoL INFO!!!! Question, with this can someone get into my wallet/Bank account?? Happy Holidays!!!
Wallet is protected by finger/face ID so no one should be able to access wallet.
@ thank you!
This is NICE, now no body can steal even they know your passcode
Im unlock any iphone
Remove icloud any phone
I did that to Daniel! But, it's not a Spongebob thing, it's a Clifford The Big Red Dog & Blue's Clues Thing Daniel!
Exactly!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Where’s Patrick
Sadly screen time password is not secure enough, four numbers does not cut it ! Can be hacked easily !
I have done this step but since i have family sharing, my apple id and my entire family apple id is still visible. Any way i can hide or restrict the access of it?

Things are much better after iOS 17, but there are still some scenarios where this procedure could be useful. It’s not my case, but it’s good to know.
Yup, just use Stolen Device Protection. However, that still needs improvement imo because the location setting is weird. What option is there if you have touch ID?
@ I think it’s iOS 17 feature. So any iPhone with touch id that supports iOS 17 should work just fine imo.

Dude nobody is getting my passcode, no one else knows it except me
Hmmm .. so you have never entered your passcode in a public place? There are eyes around you…and recording devices. Overhead closed circuit, and others with cellphones.
@ Never, I use Face ID
@@danielgartin-oh9iksometimes FaceID glitch’s and I have to enter passcode.
With iOS 18, the whole procedure described here no longer makes sense.
Thank you soooo much man ❤
