I know it's an odd question, but where I live phones get stolen often. My phone doesn't have the option for an eSim, which is a problem because 90% of the time when a thief steals a phone they take out the SIM card immediately, meaning I wouldn't be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone.

Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?

I can't speak to any particular communities, but to me it's about putting extra steps between me/my data/whatever and thieves. (I have a personal tinge of rebellion against social media and perma connectedness but I generally see them as separate)

If my password is "password" anyone can and will pop it

If my password is "P@$sw0Rd60&4" alot of people could and probably would

If my password is ^ and I use 2FA, sure that can be spoofed but the number of able hackers is much lower and it's much more work, quite frankly I'm just not that interesting ๐Ÿ˜‚

Etc etc, adjusted for situation
