I think this is why the privacy argument has never worked on me. I have just let whoever go through my phone cause what's the worst that's gonna happen? You see my 100k+ unread emails that are pretty much all spam that doesn't get filtered, my porn tabs, and texts to my gf about Sonic the Hedgehog? I only have a password on my phone cause when I didn't it somehow pocket dialed the police and they came to me at work annoyed that I wasted their time.
Granted that was an older phone, but I ain't ever risking that one again.
OK, now give your phone and wallet access to anyone on the net.
Including the government, that other government, Kim Jong Un, a pimply broke teeneager in some failed ex-soviet state who doesn't extradite to your place, Mike the Pervert (not allowed within 100m from any other living or recently deceased human by a court order), Mario NotAMobstero and Ranjin who works for $2.50/h in a scam call center.
That's why you ask for things like PIN numbers or bank passwords. Things people are constantly being told not to share.
I mean mine are the same things I've used for everything. My PIN is the same 4 numbers I've used for everything that asks for a 4 digit code dating back to when the PS2 would ask for one when watching movies. My bank password is the same except with an extra number copied cause they wanted a 5 digit code on the app (I think for the website it's also just the same password I've been using since I made my first ever website account on RuneScape).
If you're wanting details like routing numbers or whatever, can't really help you there. Every time I've been asked for that info I go to the bank and get it, put it in whatever asked for it, then throw the paper away. Someone could probably dig in my trashcan or the trash of the carwash I go to and steal the small amount of money I have, but I don't really care.
