Recommended steps for securing a lost phone According to Android Device Manager you have several options when it comes to a lost or stolen phone.

However it's not clear to me if you are supposed to select just one of them (lock your phone or erase the phone's data for example) or you can select both.

If you select one, there's no doubt about the expected behavior. 
However, it's not clear what to expect if one first selects erase phone's data, and then selects lock the phone, or viceversa. Does the second option interrupt the first one? Or do they both remain active?

To complicate things a little more, what would happen, if additionally, you changed your google password in the process? In a logical attempt to prevent any further unauthorized access to any of your google products ...

So, in the simpler case of just telling ADM to delete everything, what would happen if:


you changed the google password "before" confirming the deletion process? Would a password change at this stage interfere with google's ability to contact the phone before it had a chance to receive the deletion trigger?
you changed the google password "after" confirming the deletion process?
Would a password change at this stage interfere with google's ability to contact the phone before it had a chance to receive the deletion trigger?


If anyone has had any experience with ADM I'll appreciate your feedback.

Thank you.
After selecting "Erase phone's data" , the phone wipes off the data as soon as it gets spotted so selecting "Lock the phone" won't take effect.

And regarding the password changing, I once erased my phone and after a day changed my google password. The password was changed without any issue.
