You should also enable the Guided Access feature, which allows you to lock your iPhone down to specific apps so that the thief would have to enter an additional password to change your Apple ID or even see notifications on the screen. To do this, tap Settings > Passcode and set a six-digit passcode (or switch on Face ID or Contact ID for biometric security).

If you don’t want to think about adding some other password to your iPhone, there are free username and password manager programs that can help you create a good, unique password for each software. And do not forget to induce two-factor authentication to your iCloud profile.
