I’m sorry, maybe I’m just an old geezer, but I’d rather not install a lock to protect my family that anyone in the world can hack at any given moment. Security needs to be secure, NOT convenient!
If you load an unsafe app on your phone, you may lose the data on that one device, but your home is your castle, and needs to feel safe (even if it isn’t).
