WHAT IS IPHONE ACTIVATION LOCK CODE
MobileIron Core acquires the bypass code at this time. In the Security policy, select Enable Activation Lock. Should you decide to enable the feature: Table 1.Ĭomplete the following steps prior to device registration: 1. Most corporate administrators are likely to leave the Activation Lock disabled, as it is primarily a consumer feature. If you have a corporate-liable deployment, and your devices are supervised, activation lock is disabled for supervised devices by default, and device users cannot turn it on. Any resulting issues would be addressed by the user and Apple Care. The device user owns the asset, so they can lock the device with their personal Apple ID. If you have a BYOD deployment, no action is required.
WHAT IS IPHONE ACTIVATION LOCK PASSWORD
If someone other than you wiped your device and then tried to re-activate and use it, they would be prompted for your Apple ID and password in Setup Assistant. From that point, no one can turn off Find My iPhone, erase the device, or reactivate it without entering the existing Apple ID and password.
When you configure an iOS device as supervised, you can generate a device-specific Activation Lock bypass code which you can later use to remove the Activation Lock. Enabling this option prompts MobileIron Core to acquire the bypass code for the devices.
