Detection
An adult’s approval channel is used unexpectedly or no adult can explain a setting change.
Fix (technical)
Do not provide credential-capture methods. Keep parent devices and approval routes under adult control; review changed (siehe ui_strings_ref) the account owner and vendor guidance.
Fix (relational)
Address trust, privacy and consequences openly; do not turn a suspected incident into an invitation to reveal methods.
Residual risk
No inspected source directly documented the listed credential or biometric tactics.
