No alexandra. Conversely, older products are sometimes even more secure than newer ones. Your fingerprint and your retina could be saved on a chinese server in peking or in california. The power have those companies and the state. Furthermore you do not know if eg. the face recognition is secure a hundred percent against others than the producers (they could store the print somewhere) of the phone, whereas with a password the risk can be calculated better. The newest technology is not the most secure, however, it is the most expensive but it often consumes more battery time. For a long time, i only had a bar mobile but when the smartphones got faster the advantages paid off.
The new regulations like the gdpr make sense alexandra. It gives people some basic rights. Notably, only basic rights. I has long been criticized because of the extra effort that it needs. But overall it really makes sense.
But you could use telegram with your computer and phone (to receive the code) ?
,but the point is that a smartphone that isn't software supported poses a security risk because someone else could use it for malicious intent. they could use my email address to send terrorist organisational emails or use my facebook account or whatever. so a vector. so having a non secure smartphone puts us all at risk. if that is the case then i feel i shuld maintain a secure smartphone if i have a smartphone at all. ,
