Just out of curiosity, how secure is your phone? Does it use a 4 digit
pin (or swipe-pattern) or a long password? Do you run a
virus/malware-scanner on it and if so, how frequently do you run it?

I'm always surprised and flabbergasted at anyone (I'm not picking on you
specifically, Rich) who uploads their passwords to anything online. Has
no-one heard of OpSec and ComSec anymore?
A secret is *not* something you only tell one person at a time, a secret
stops being a secret when more than 1 (living) person knows about it.
But I guess it's /convenient/, right?

BAH... where's my stick, so I can shake it and yell something incoherent
about my lawn at you young'ens...

P.S.: Don't retort with "it's not so bad if someone grabs my login data"
unless you are willing to share at least the following with this mailing
list over cleartext: you SSN, your birth date, login credentials to all
your e-mail accounts, bank accounts, and social media accounts.
