Some will let you ‘trust this computer’ but I would only do that with a desktop, never with a laptop that would leave the house.

And I’d never put a banking type app on my phone. That’s generally going to put access + your multifactor in a single place that you could easily lose control of.

I agree. I don’t do business of any kind on a phone (which is becoming a problem, because so many companies what to ‘text’ you); and while I have a laptop for emergency, I’ve never used it.

Yes...my biggest fear is losing the phone, but getting into the phone requires facial recognition. And, if the phone is gone, then I can erase it remotely.

I’ve got the same concern about the computer. I take it with me on trips. It uses fingerprint security, so I should be protected. But I watch it like a hawk.

I use Apple’s “Find My” to track the known location of the iPhone, iPad and Mac.
