Don’t Loose Your Life in Your iPhone
On a recent trip, a friend of Rebel Fish’s lost his phone… Not only was it sad, because the iPhone is so sexy; it was sad because all of his texts with his wife, friends, and associates were there. Photos, emails (and the ability to continue to send/receive emails!), notes, and contacts. It was all available to the lucky new owner of his phone.
Rebel Fish, of course, has an iPhone. She’s taken to storing much of her needed information in her address book entry. E.g., credit card numbers, passwords for frequently used sites, social security numbers of her friends and their credit card info. hahahah.
So, seeing his distress, Rebel Fish worried what would happen if she lost hers.
That’s why Rebel Fish now locks her phone with a passcode. You can find out more about it HERE. She highly recommends doing it, and despite the fact that you have to enter the code when you turn on the phone, every time she does it, she’s reassured that her personal info is safe. Besides, it makes her feel like a secret agent.
Swim on!

Another partial solution is to use 1Password for Mac. It syncs to the iPhone, keeps your information safe and secure (you need a password to get to it) and it also even autofills forms in Safari on the iPhone and Touch. Pretty cool program… check it out here:

Maybe you should tighten things up if they are LOOSE. Just don’t LOSE Your Life in your IPhone.
