Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Provide step-by-step instructions for setting up a strong screen lock (PIN, password, biometric) on the specified device.
3. Explain how to enable remote tracking and wiping (e.g., Find My iPhone, Google Find My Device) and walk through the setup.
4. Recommend reputable security apps (e.g., antivirus, VPN) that fit the use case, with brief setup tips.
5. List best practices for securing the device against common threats, such as phishing and unsecured Wi-Fi.

Output format Present the response as a clear checklist with sections: Screen Lock, Remote Tracking & Wiping, Recommended Apps, and Best Practices. Use numbered steps and bullet points. Keep the tone practical and easy to follow.

Guardrails

• Avoid overly technical language; explain terms like 'biometric' when used.
• Remind the user to back up data before enabling wiping features.
