DEFECTS OF PASSWORD

DOES IT MAKE SENSE?

Three friends had an accident in a car and became unconscious. A stranger got to the scene and wanted to call for help. He had no phone. There were six mobile phones in the accident car but all had password on them. They all died as a result.

A pregnant lady collapsed at home with her little daughter(a minor). The little girl had no idea of what was happening but saw her mother gasping for air. She picked her mother's phone to call her daddy but there was a password on the phone. By grace, her big brother left his phone on his bed while going to school and she called the father and her mother was saved because her brother had no password on his phone else the pregnant woman would have lost her life. Whose fault would that have been?

An armed men came to rob a family. The second child happen to be in a little room which the armed men thought it was a store room and never entered. He had no phone but his sister's phone was on charge in his room. He tried to call for help but there was password on his sister's phone. They raped and killed them leaving only the little one. He saw everything through the key hole. Police station and military barracks were closer. He knew numbers he could call for help but "password" denied him access.

A young man died with so much wealth in an unknown bank. The information was on his phone. No one could access the information because he passworded his mobile phone.

Now what is your opinion on "PASSWORD"?
In my opinion, you life is worth far more than the information you secure on your mobile devices. You may never know how stringent and total passwording of your device could cost you an irreparable damage.
Password your gallery, social apps, and so on but not your Phonebook (contacts) and call dialing. They could save your life when least expected.

Please kindly share your opinion on this and don't forget to vote this post, follow me for more life critics and share this post as well.

Sort:  

A lot of phones and phone carriers in the USA allow you to still make emergency phone calls without a password. I had verizon and use a Samsung Galaxy S5 and the option to call an emergency number is available while the rest of the phone still remains locked.

Yeah! that's true of an advanced and developed country like USA where emergency toll free numbers are practically in use with rapid responses. There could be other developing countries where such numbers are mere default contacts on your phone that although accessible, one cannot be assured of swift response or response at all. We just hope that in due course, these countries would advance in their ways of managing emergency calls to save lives just as in the more advanced countries, then we may not have to worry about cell phone "passwords". Thanks for your comment @crazydaze.
