it happens

I change computers and lose passwords to email accounts, then what ever is attached to that email is basically fucked

at least i don't have anything on my phone and I use bluetooth as little as possible and never ever use public wifi

echo and that stuff, not in a million years

even so, I do have various shopping accounts

My phone is probably the safest thing I own honestly. Strong password I change often, and googles rolled out their find my iphone knockoff that uses all the bluetooth and wifi stuff to ping its location back to base if GPS isn't working. Apparently it doesn't work very well yet, but I have faith it'll improve. Or google will get a new toy and scrap it. really 50/50 odds tbh

there is not much on my phone , no bank, no gov, no myki, few apps, no location tracking, i keep wifi and bluetooth off when out

but I'm sure if someone was determined they could hack easily

I do have phone numbers
