In this case, a pixel 5a5g with GrapheneOS. I use my phone as an additional backup location for all the various files on my laptop. I have yet to set the fingerprint sensor, because I don't trust them, but I always make sure to set an eight digit pin screen lock before leaving the house. Now say I went out with my phone in this state and lost it. Anyone who found it, I realize, with evil intentions would probably just want to wipe it and sell it. But even so, how hard would it be for them to access the private data on my phone in a situation like this?

Do you really want to type in a 8 digit pin every time? No

Speak for yourself. I literally do.
