Help an old fart out 17:14 - Nov 18 with 971 viewsbluelagos

So just got a new phone - and busy reinstalling whatever Apps I use - not many tbh

One that comes up (never used it) is that Google wallet thing - where I think you put your cards (Credit and bank cards) onto yer phone. Sounds cool, but don't like the idea of someone pinching my phone also having access to my cards too.

I have managed to set up the finger print unlock thing.

So - is there literally no way they can get into my phone or can a modern thief bypass the finger print thing easily?

Also - what Apps would you be recommending? Don't really use my phone that much - although I have got a tracker app - for when out and about - which is quite handy if you get lost and need to retrace yer steps.

Anything else you can heartily recommend?

Use wallet to store your details for online shopping, but don't set up the swipe to pay option. Just use your card.

Blue mail is good for multiple email accounts.
File manger+ is good for organising your phone files and connecting to Nas etc via SSH.
Passwdsafe is good for storing sensitive passwords and as a backup to Google passwords.
Colornote is good for lists and check boxing lists.

But most importantly use VIVALDI as your web browser as it protects your personal data and kills most adds. Although you don't support sites like this much by blocking them.

Enjoy.

I absolutely recommend the following (boring but necessary IMHO) :

- A VPN (Nord is superb)
- An antivirus program
- A decent dictionary / thesaurus

Presume, surmise, suppose, imagine that’s ok.

I'm glad to see that you've got a decent dictionary / thesaurus app.
