I was able to get my icloud username and password of my stolen iphone. Now i want to change my password bit there is a promt message asking me to 1. Signout all devices 2. Do not sign out. What should i choose? I want to completely erase all my data on my lost phone but Im afraid if i chose to signout my icloud on that phone, the thief might open it.

This support article has a list of things to do if your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen. --> Find your lost iPhone or iPad with Find My - Apple Support
- There is a case for NOT doing step #7 where you remove the device from your account. Removing it would disable Activation Lock and make the device usable to a thief or a finder. As long as you set Lost Mode and/or erase the device, it will be not be recognized as a trusted device. This information is recommended by Apple in this thread I lost my iPhone - Apple Community

1) You don't have to but it might save a bit of confusion with devices is you do sign out first.
2) Find your lost Apple device or AirTag with Find My - Apple Support
"If you erase a device that's running iOS 15 or later, or iPadOS 15 or
later, you can still use Find My to find the device. Otherwise, you
won't be able to find your device after you erase it."
I just need clarification for this
