I'm on a Samsung A34 using a passphrase to unlock, I'm not sure it gets stronger than that? Unless there's something I'm missing

Source? Because I have many videos as evidence showing thieves throw SIM cards out of the window of their escape vehicle, so that seems to be the common one here

Amazing, thank you! I think the super glue option will be best. The phone is water resistant as well so I don't see the isopropyl being an issue to try loosen the super glue.

Exactly this. I'm looking to buy time not to completely bar access

This is amazing! Thank you, I will definitely be painting it closed.

It's a Samsung A34, so not old at all. Thank you for your response!

This is also true, maybe there's another non permanent way of doing this? I only need the SIM card in the device when it's stolen long enough for me to remotely wipe the device

True, the vast majority are to resell or sell for parts, but there are data breaches occasionally as well. My idea is to keep the phone online with the SIM inside long enough for me to login to find my remotely and wipe the phone, that way it'll be wiped and locked down, only useful for parts in that scenario

See I'm worried they'll keep the device offline and try to access it before it can be wiped remotely with find my.

True, but in my country and in my experience the first thing they do is remove the SIM card so that you can't track it, if it's an android which it is in my case.

I've got a secure password and no details on the lock screen but I'd just like to try protect myself even more

Not a bad idea actually. I do have a work phone which I could hand over but if I get frisked they'll find the personal phone anyways

Thanks for the response. I have a Samsung A34. I don't think keeping accounts off of my phone would work for me, it's my most central place for everything which I know is risky, but it's better than having everything on my work computer which could get searched or taken at any point

This is a cool idea

Hmm. Good analogy, I like it

Literally just use Signal. E2EE and open source

So amazing to see both communities coming together!

What is wrong with you?
