# Secure a Lost Phone

A lost phone isn't just a lost device — it's a key to your email, banking, 2FA, and payments. The first 30 minutes matter. This gives the correct order: locate and lock it, stop the SIM and card access, change the passwords that matter, and decide when to remotely wipe — so a bad day doesn't become account takeover and fraud.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The ordered checklist** — locate/lock via the find-my service, then protect the high-risk stuff, in priority sequence
- **SIM & payment protection** — contact your carrier to suspend the SIM (stops SMS-2FA hijack) and your bank to protect cards/wallet
- **Account priorities** — change passwords on email and key accounts the phone can unlock or reset
- **The wipe decision** — locate-and-lock vs. remote-wipe, and the tradeoffs (recovery vs. data exposure)
- **Reporting** — police report (for theft/insurance) and carrier notification
- **Prevention setup** — what to enable now so next time is a shrug, not a crisis
