Fraser Speirs and his wife had a bag stolen on vacation. In it was her iPhone, which set Fraser down a road of loss recovery when he had a realization:
I use 1Password for Families, so my data is hosted by 1Password itself. I have 2-factor authentication turned on for every account that supports it, including my Apple ID, personal and work Google accounts, Dropbox, Evernote and others.
All my devices have passcodes. I use alphanumeric passcodes on my iOS devices. I have Touch ID enabled. My Apple Watch locks when I take it off. Find My iPhone is turned on for all devices and Activation Lock is enabled.
I’m really doing my best here. Ironically, though, it’s this good level of security that makes the recovery trickier.
I’m in the same boat — I really only know a couple of passwords, and not the ones I would need in a disaster like this. I’m going to be rethinking some things.
