changing your apple id password after you lose a device

If you change your apple id password after you lose a device, will it still show in 'find my iphone'? it is currently in offline status and passcode protected. Keeps showing in "Find My' but is using bluetooth, i think, for location as it seems to jump from one house to a neighboring house. Started at 6217, went to 6319, then 6323.

Locked id, stolen phone, other device is offline My phone was stolen and my Apple ID is locked. I can have the app send a message with how to change my password to an old phone that is currently logged into Apple ID but offline. If I connect this old phone to the wifi, will it also lock? Or will it stay connected to my Apple ID and let me change the password. Scared to log on and have that be locked to. I guess it depends on if the thief had it sign me out of all devices when/if they changed the passcode. Either way...?

Can an iphone be removed from findmy if they know the passcode but not the account password? I've been getting mixed info about the referenced question so decided to ask here. For quick context: I'm currently abroad and last Monday I had my iphone 12 pro max stolen with it's passcode and the thieves were able to remove the device from findmy immediately. I did not have my apple account password stored in my keychain, written in my notes, or in any other password manager on my phone - so there's no way the theives could've known it. Yet multiple people have told me (and I've also just read threads on here that state this) that a device can't be removed from findmy with only it's pin, it'll always prompt for the account password too.

It will still show since you are using the same Apple Account.
