iPhone Security Tip 4: Erase data after 10 failed passcode attempts
https://www.thefinalstep.co.uk/bytesi...
In the event that somebody steals your phone whilst locked and without knowing the passcode, it’s a good idea for your phone to automatically erase all data in response to any forced login attempts.
It’s important to note at this stage that if your phone is stolen, you should assume that the thief knows the password, and should still carry out the other recovery steps such as trying to erase data via Find my iPhone as soon as possible.
To set this up, head to Settings and to Face ID & Passcode. Enter your passcode as prompted, and then scroll all the way to the bottom and turn on ‘Erase Data’. You will be asked to confirm this choice, as it means that after 10 failed passcode attempts, all of the data on your phone will be erased. This includes all photos, notes, messages and otherwise that aren’t backed up to iCloud or other backup services.
If you choose to turn this option on, make sure that if you changed your passcode to an alphanumeric password earlier in this series, that it’s a secure one that you will remember.
You should also think twice about enabling this option if, for example, you have kids that might play on your phone, as you don’t want to turn around and find your phone inadvertently wiped.
