    They don’t have to be stolen. Imagine some clever thief drugging your drink, then when you’re incapacitated they take your phone and press your finger to it or hold it up to your face to unlock it, then transfer all your money out of Venmo or whatever money transfer app you have on your phone.

      The comment I replied to said stolen, which is what I was getting at.

      There’s also nothing to stop someone watching over your shoulder to see your PIN for your phone/laptop. Nothing is infallible.

      God, the shit people dream up to worry themselves about. Nobody is drugging you to unlock your phone.
