Phishing email scam -

My daughter clicked on the following email and was prompted to enter her appleID and password.

She entered her info but I think she got her password wrong. Luckily she let me know right away and I walked her through resetting her password and enabling 2-factor auth.

My question is: Are there any other steps I need to take? Does she need to disable applepay? Should she wipe the device??? We have family sharing enabled and sends me requests for purchases. Do I need to disable that?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
