Hey man, in this day and age…. It’s in your best interest to have a passcode on your phone.. your entire digital life could be on that device. Access to your texts, contacts, photos, files, bank accounts, utilities accounts, etc etc etc can all be compromised when you leave your device vulnerable that way. If you ever left your phone somewhere, or lost it, or got it stolen, (which happens a lot more than you think) then someone could easily clean you out of every dime in your name, have access to any of your sensitive information, and literally ruin your life. It’s 2023, definitely throw a passcode on there, it might be tedious but at least your digital life will be protected ya know? Especially considering anyone that gets your phone could empty your pockets real quick. There’s a ton of crazy and desperate people out there.. same reason scam artists exist that pray on people’s digital lives to steal their money or even identity.. not trying to lecture or anything, just trying to pass along a possible eye opener for you so you are more weary and protective over your digital life. That’s the downside to smartphones, while it’s amazing having the entire internet and a super computer in your pocket, you can lose your entire bank accounts and digital life. Back in the day someone would have to steal your computer attached to the wall and hack it to get your stuff, now it’s as simple as finding a lost phone or stealing one and people can get everything a lot more frequently than in years past. Definitely protect yourself buddy! Not worth not having a passcode in my humble opinion!
