i have 3 phones. Two phone are mainly for online work and i make sure i do not use email address that are linked to my main payment processors. I have created a few dummy emails that i use to register for all these other online work and one payment processor for all of them. I receive just a few cents there so even if they hack it they wont come out with much. I never computer save my passwords and i never communicate or open emails from people i don't knw.

I do not store any valuable information on my smartphone, I do not use whatsapp, so the phone is not of any value to hackers, they do not bother to hack it.

I try that too but sometimes I forget the passwords and I end up changing them more than i should. The brain is something else. I am regsuered to a lot of sites, more than 10, imagine having to memories all the passwords, and then having to add a new one which you have to remmeber always.

The best is to avoid clicking malicious codes and links that drain information from the phone. Avoid handing over your phone to strangers.

I simply mind the kind of sites I enter with my phone, and I make sure I do not give access to my phone to just anyone.
