How Are Cellphone Thieves Obtaining Your Passcode?

Reyhan Ayas says she was standing outside a bar when a thief snatched her iPhone. She says she lost access to all her photos because the thief locked her out of her Apple accounts. Although the pictures are in Apple's iCloud, she says for security and privacy reasons Apple will not restore her access. Apple says they "sympathize" with customers who've had this experience and take the incidents seriously. They also say they work hard to protect users' accounts and are always investigating additional protections against new threats. For privacy reasons, Apple also says they do not accept passports or driver's licenses to confirm ownership of an account.

[@mysticnightwolf339]

Apple really needs to stop saying that they can’t do anything about things like this. They need to step up protections for the customers’ sake. And allow them to access their accounts again and make the changes necessary to ensure that the thieves can’t steal any more than what they have already.

[@hellokaylee2977]

It’s because Apple can’t do anything. It doesn’t matter all the security updates they do, hackers always find a way to bypass the system.

[@reyku]

if you want apple to protect their customers then you're asking them to reduce their security features such as end to end encryption. They should focus on making your phone's passcode not have access to everything. I recommend everyone to disable apple keychain for starters as thats the main problem with this

[@kylewagner78]

Keep your phone in your pocket. Do not lay it down someplace and keep your phone with you! Change passwords and codes often! When you notice it was stolen, take action to ensure your bank is aware and change your passcodes to the bank. I know it sucks, but be vigilant and outsmart the thieves. Also, don't get so inebriated that you can't function.

[@airportdocumentaries]

Make sure to put a pin on your SIM card. So if your phone does get stolen and he puts the sim into another phone it will ask for a pin to unlock the SIM. This will prevent the thief from getting two-step verification text messages and will prevent them from easily gaining access to your email, bank accounts and any other account that uses 2 step verification.

All Apple has to do is save the owner's fingerprints on first use. Only those fingerprints can get access back to their accounts after being stolen. No need for the phone owner to ever update or change fingerprints, so if someone (thief) tries to change the fingerprints, Apple shuts down access to the phone to anyone that doesn't have those fingerprints.

[@JuanWayTrips]

Except that Apple doesn't put TouchID on their iPhones except maybe the SE, so there's no way to register a fingerprint if they never had TouchID to begin with.

finger print is less secure than Face ID, Face ID you have to have your eyes open, looking at the camera, and has to match with dot projection. Touch ID you can just take their finger and touch the sensor doesn't matter if they're awake or sleeping it doesn't know the difference.

Why would you lose access to your photos if your phone was stolen? If everything is backed up in iCloud, you can still access all of your photos from any other device with your login. Just because someone knows your iPhone password doesn’t mean they know your iCloud sign in info, especially if you have two factor authentication enabled. This video is misinformation.

These people always blaming someone else (in this case Apple) for their negligence instead of themselves for being careless.

It doesn’t matter what brand the phone is anyone can look over and see the password. Also FACE ID DUHHHHHH

Apple seriously needs to do more. The fact ALL you need for someone to get into your phone is a password. Now I’m not a genius but I’m sure there is more apple can do than passwords.
