A recent New York Times article shocked many, myself included, by showing how easily a stolen passcode can ruin your digital and financial life. It centred on iPhones but Android users are no safer. A criminal would observe someone entering their passcode, trick them into giving it away, or worse still make them reveal it at knifepoint.
Then they’d steal the phone and change the passcode, change the face in FaceID, the password in AppleID, turn off Find My iPhone, and render the passwords in a keychain unusable, all within a minute or two.
