   This Windows 11 laptop I'm posting with seems to get several updates   
   every week. But my Galaxy S10+ phone says it hasn't had an update in   
   over a year. So I think even Katrina might be worried about my phone...

   It would take a 7 digit pin to enter my phone and if I had my bank and   
   investment apps on the phone, another 11 character password to enter   
   each of them. I doubt the finder/thief could solve that. But I would   
   still change all the passwords when I got home.   
      
   Likewise I would change my Google password and remove the phone from my   
   Google device list which would remove my account from the no password   
   needed Google apps on the phone...
