Apple is set to introduce a new feature to its iOS operating system that will prevent iPhone thieves from accessing sensitive data on the smartphone, even if they have the access code to unlock it.

The idea behind this "Stolen Device Protection" feature is to add an extra layer of security in the event that someone steals your phone and knows your (supposedly secret) access code. By activating this feature, access to your saved passwords will require the use of Face ID to make sure it's really you.
