Doesn’t your bank need 2 sets of creds to log in? Mine does.
also, i like my phone to be fast. If i wanted my phone just be a cheap thing, i’d buy a second hand google flagship from 3 years ago and flash with custom rom.
With my phone being high end, comes the risk of theft, like with virtually anything high end (watches, ice, etc)
Yeah, like access to “your” phone. Kind of stupid. It’s like fuck you to all banks. Get PGP signature services and fuck off with you demanded access to my fucking camera and mic.
The Money has to go somewhere. If it’s a bank transfer, then the police can follow it and arrest the receiver.
If it’s a mugging where they take you to the ATM, then having the bank app on the phone is irrelevant as it’s just card+pin
There’s a reason in France the crime rings are kidnapping cryptobros: they can get millions, they can get them immediately and it’s way harder to follow the money
This is literally one of the most common scenarios in Brazil. The city of Sao Paulo alone had over 103k cell phones stolen in 2023, almost every week on the news there’s a story about someone being forced at gunpoint to make a bank transfer before the criminals flee with the cellphone. In other situations, the victim is taken to a bank agency and the cash is drawn to the daily limit from a ATM (lightning kidnapping as it’s called here)
Be thankful this kind of shit doesn’t happen where you live
You’re missing the forest for the trees. It’s one thing to have your phone stole but it’s another completely and unrelated thing to have someone force you to do something on your phone at gunpoint.
How the hell is any type of security system ever going to be able to help you in the scenario you described?
In case you don’t know what your type of comment is called, it’s “moving the goalpost”.

That’s irrelevant when the mugger is holding a gun at you and telling you to input the passwords.

I wasn’t sure what you meant. I assumed someone stole your phone and tried to get into it.
I’m not sure how you can protect anything from the 5 dollar wrench attack :/
probably not having a phone or credit card. I’m sorry that fucked up shit is happening in Brazil.
There’s a significant difference between your phone being stolen and this random scenario you just made up.
