Easy solution: password protect your phone. If you haven't already done that, what would you do if you lost it by accident?

Do what I do: Sync to the cloud and have your phone set to wipe itself on the second failed password.

I never put data in a 'cloud'. I'm just too paranoid. My cell syncs to my home PC, and by default the phone will wipe on 10 bad passwords. I've set it to 5, because I've done 3 bads far to often. ;)

I can also remote wipe if I lose it. Or, if it's confiscated for 'evidence' and I suddenly can't remember the password. [angel]

Well, Bart I can having to worry if his ravings about shooting people ever attract police attention. But you, Caleb, what exactly do you get up to that you're so paranoid about the cops accessing your phone?

I don't have to be doing anything untoward in order to protect my right to privacy. It's my constitutional right. No one else is going defend my rights besides me. By the time the cloud gets hacked and all my naked selfies are released to the public; it'll be too late to enable security.

Or, it may be that something in the future may require that safeguard. I might stumble across a robbery in progress; or the police helpfully assisting someone with their breathing problem, for which my cellphone would be held as evidence and never be seen again. I might just lose it on the bus. It will be too late at that point to enable security. Best it were enabled beforehand.

I now have an iphone 5s and it requires you to enable screen lock if you want to save your Apple ID in the phone (saving the Apple ID is required in order to set up auto-update of the apps and operating system, among other things). The 5s has fingerprint recognition so you can unlock without having to key in the password.

Just FYI...Getting into your home PC is far easier than hacking the 'cloud'.

Being paranoid is just silly...

Heard that sometime back as well. I never upgraded. Same as blu jeans and T's. They 'get the job done' and every so often are once again the 'height of fashion'! :lol:

Now what if you horribly burn your finger, or even worse. Lose them. Then what? ;)

Getting into your home PC may be trivial. Not mine. ;)

And it's not being paranoid when people are intercepting, recording, stealing and hacking information all the time! It's what I do for a living, and I know I'm not being half as paranoid about my own data as I am about work. Work is a much bigger target.
