Stolen Device Protection to thwart iPhone thieves with passcodes with time delay
What about adding a voice print
like a phrase
what is your birth date
My birthday is——-
where you speak a response phrase
I like layers of security especially for critical settings
or require touch or Face ID to change critical settings
Or develop iPhone with BOTH touch and Face ID and critical settings require both -

Xed
great suggestions but how to do this--4 character long press ???
PS: I recommend to not use a PIN. Use a complex passcode. You have those long-press characters on the iOS and Mac keyboards, too, which means you can make a simple 4-character passcode that has over 3 billion possible combinations by using one of those characters. It also makes it a lot more difficult for something to see what you're typing in over a regular keyboard or a number pad.

I'm not familiar with using ScreenTime's security features. Does it allow you to set a _different_ passcode from your device passcode? Is that to what you are referring?
I think this Stolen Device Protection is another good step forward, as it considers location proximity into the equation. Our Smartphones are getting smarter.
