How to Set Your iPhone to Erase All Data After 10 Failed Passcode Attempts

Passcode Attempts


Apple has done a great job of making our iPhones secure. If you have data or images on your iPhone that you want no one without the code to ever be able to see, you can set your iPhone to erase all data after 10 failed passcode attempts (this will not delete data in iCloud). This is not a setting you should turn on lightly because if anyone fails to open your phone after those 10 attempts, everything on the phone disappears and you’ll have to start from scratch. However, as a security measure, it’s a great way to make sure your data is secure.

To set your iPhone to erase all data after 10 failed passcode attempts, open your Settings app. Scroll down and tap Touch ID & Passcode. Enter your passcode to continue.
