The story of Lindybeige who is just trying to do anything online after an attempt to change providers left him without a mobile phone that would allow him to authenticate.
In summary, our phones are now our biggest single point of failure.

Just wait for real life hacking to be a thing. With someone's phone these days, if the person is sedated and handcuffed they can't report they've lost access to the phone - a criminal gang could sit there for 24 hours or more with any number of ways to drain off a few thousand from that persons bank account, convert credit into bitcoins ... whatever else ... sadly security has been pushed to passkeys, smart phones and other devices that a person inclined to adopt such things are left wide open. Presently such a thing seems inconceivable, but right tools and the right plan ... and I've left some important things out, no need to give idiots ideas, and soon ... we'll gladly submit to constant A.I. surveillance to monitor where we are at all times.
