No stolen device option on my phone

where is stolen device protection on a second generation SE iPhone? It is 'not' under my TouchID and Passcode settings. And yes, I'm in iOS 17.3.

iPhone SE (2nd generation)

Is everything below enabled on your iPhone?


  1. Touch ID is turned on?
  2. Find My is turned on?
  3. You are using Two Factor Authentication?


If any of the above are not being used, you will not be able to use Stolen Device Protection until all are on.

Thanks for this clarification. I cannot use TouchID because it does not recognize fingerprints from those of us who suffer from Sjogren's syndrome (very dry skin, especially fingers). Apple is not yet up to snuff when it comes to a wider variety of disabilities. I do not use 2 Factor Auth. Find My is turned on. Thanks for this info.
