Yeah, my only mitigation is that I just don't lose my phone.


If you are logged in to your email on the device, whoever gains access can trivially reset most of your passwords though, so even if your password manager is locked, it only helps for passwords for things that don’t offer an email reset option…

Yeah, I know they can reset my passwords. They would have to care enough to do that first. They're not going to reset my bank password like that though... there is more security than just a password there.

So what are they going to get to? My Amazon account? I don't really care about that.
