Went to Sunbury to pickup a Pixel 5 and the owner didn’t even bother to reset it and remove the phone from their Google account. Ended up being a 1hr process because they had no idea what their Google password is and had to ask a relative. They aren’t even that old, younger than me yet had no concept that giving me their phone full of data is a Bad Idea.

@Kels_316 the Google account name did match their name, so yeah, it was theirs

@KathyReid they even gave me the device PIN and said I can use it, lol - hello access to their internet banking.

@KathyReid @decryption I have explained Modern phones as 'offline memory' before

@Taco_lad @decryption I like that analogy a lot.

@decryption it's like this sort of thing has been totally normalised.

@KathyReid when I explained the consequences to them (while we waited for their relative to find the password) they were shocked - big disconnect between what is possible and someone’s knowledge on it.
