    I don't know why people tie so much important information into their phones.

    Facial recognition barely even works on this POS phone. Apple ruins everything.

    Never, ever use facial recognition. It's a privacy nightmare.

    I have VERY few apps on my phone. I use the mobile site for everything, and all my passwords are stored in an encrypted file tied to an offline-only password manager.

    You have to be smart about this stuff.

    Mine worked great and it was quick and simple. However, the charge port cracked and that piece wasn’t replaceable. That forced me into this one which requires I look at it, wait on it to decide it doesn’t like my looks, then, I manually input my code. Futile.

    Your phone doesn't like your looks? You might be surprised if you ask it out for a date and drinks.

    I regularly force it to eat *ss and smell farts, so I’m guessing a hard “NO!”. LOL!
