No-passcode iPhone ain’t so smart after all, says Eric deRuiter
Another approach to prevent iCloud passcode changes, provided by Jenny Oskarsen


Change your iPhone passcode
After you enter it twice, the phone will ask for your iCloud passcode
Hit Cancel; your passcode has been changed, but you will need to enter your current iCloud password to change it

Sonos does allow you to shout requests into the air

Criminals are shoulder-surfing passcodes and then swiping iPhones


Mitigation ideas:


Alphanumeric passcodes

Settings → Face ID & Passcode → Change Passcode → Passcode Options → Custom Alphanumeric Code
Don’t use iCloud Keychain for banking passwords
Screen Time


Settings → Screen Time → Use Screen Time Passcode and don’t use the same passcode
Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions → Account Changes → Don’t Allow

Venmo: Me → Settings → Face ID & PIN → Enable Face ID & PIN
Cash: Icon in the upper-right → Privacy & Security → Security Lock
