Apple Pay has been touted as one of the most secure payment methods we've ever seen. Between its tokenization model and the requirement for your fingerprint before a payment can be processed, it's easy to see why.

Even still, losing an iPhone that acts as your wallet can be a bit unnerving. Granted, it's unlikely any would be thief would have access to a perfect copy of your fingerprint, Apple has included a method to disable Apple Pay on a lost device using its Find My iPhone service.

Should you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having a lost or stolen iPhone, here's what you can do to disable Apple Pay.
