Your Google Account, Apple Account (Apple ID) or other device-finding account could help locate and secure your phone if it is lost or stolen. But would you know how to sign in without your phone?

Know which email address is linked to your device. Use a strong, unique password and keep it securely accessible through a trusted password manager or a written record stored in a safe place.

Check that Apple’s Find My, Google’s Find Hub or your device’s equivalent service is enabled. Familiarise yourself with accessing it from another device before you need it.

Use the official service to try to locate and lock it or mark it as lost. Report the theft promptly and share available location information with responding authorities or security personnel. Never attempt to confront a suspect or recover the device yourself.
⚠️ Never share your password, screen-lock PIN or verification codes with anyone claiming they have found your phone. Sign in yourself through official services.
