2nd question: When crossing borders between countries, one can be forced to open your phone, etc. But having touchID or faceID disabled can make it harder for "them" to get into your phone without your password. If one carries Yubikeys across a border, does that make your phone less safe? Does it make your online accounts that are 2FA less safe even if your passwords are not on the phone? Any thoughts about how Yubikeys might make one's online security in jeaporady when crossing borders? Thx

@mastodon39882 In my optinion fingerprint or FaceID isn't a smart move, because you can be forced to unlock your device and thats not something we want.

Make sure you're using a secure password, not a 4-6 number PIN or pattern.

Also use apps like Cryptomator to encrypt your files so that even if your device was force searched, no one could see the files.
