Google extends Identity Check to your banking apps and password managers

Losing your phone can be a very stressful situation. Yes, there’s the monetary aspect, especially with how expensive flagship phones are these days, but there’s also the terrifying reality that your whole digital identity is now in a stranger’s hands.

Our lives, including our precious memories, our bank accounts, private conversations, home security controls, and a lot more, are all stored on our phones, and that’s precisely why losing one can spell disaster.

Google, over the years, has done a great job of ensuring that lost/stolen devices can be tracked, complete with features to ensure that your personal data remains out of threat actors’ reach.
