@kuriko Most of those options are data collection systems, and thus should be disliked especially due to leaks. If anything, it could be done at a store or point of sale by requiring an adult to buy the phone (and enabling protected mode if it's for someone young).

Doesn't protect against having an adult authenticate, then passing it to a child, because those verification things look generic at first glance.

The one I might like is the one in Leisure Suit Larry, if it weren't for it relying on now-stale trivia.
