New Android Theft Protection fearures
Improvements coming to Android 16+
- A toggle for Failed Authentication Lock: Decides whether to lock the device after several incorrect authentication attempts (enabled in Android 15+ devices by default).
- Identity Check (utilize biometric authentication outside of trusted places) has been expanded to cover all services that use biometric authentication, including third-party apps.
- Lockout time has been increased after several failed attempts; identical incorrect guesses won't count towards your retry limit so you won't be locked out by mistake.

Miscellaneous
- Remote Lock let you add optional security question or challenge, so it can only be activated by the real owner, available for Android 10+ devices.
- In Brazil, Theft Detection Lock and Remote Lock is enabled by default for new Android devices.
