How about this. I am sitting at home on my couch trying to change my password. Apparently this is not a familiar location. Here’s the question. What idiot came up with this? There is absolutely no beginning to your genius Apple.
iPhone 13, iOS 17
I think you’re referring to Stolen Device Protection.
Stolen Device Protection is a feature introduced in iOS 17.3 as access to the passcode of a stolen device allows:
Stolen Device Protection requires Face ID or Touch ID for the actions, disabling the passcode fallback. Additionally, a one-hour security delay is enforced for changes to Apple ID security settings. You can choose to only enforce the security delay at unfamiliar locations, or always enable it.
The device automatically recognizes a location as “familiar” once you have been there for enough time. Familiar locations currently cannot be controlled. If this concerns you, you should choose to always enforce the security delay.
