Hi 1P_Dave,

Thank you VERY much for your answer.

Unfortunately, in my country, phone theft with a gun is very common, and the criminal asks for the iPhone's PIN before abandoning the victim.

Apple is implementing some additional controls (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212510), but unfortunately only with the PIN, Apple considers it an authenticated device, and with this it is possible to perform some tasks such as changing the iCloud password and in some versions of iOS even adding an extra finger in biometrics for example (I didn't test Face ID yet).

I would like just add another layer of security, specially when I traveling and easily (maybe in an automated way) disable Biometrics from my 1Password.
