    Hi i had my phone stolen last night. It was turned off when i tried to call it. Something just dawned upon me there. I had the gmail app on my phone. It never used to require me to sign in everytime using it. Same with evernote and probably a few other similar types of apps with private info. If you switch the phone off does the phone require sign in's for these type's of apps? I better change my passwords just in case..

    i recently setup my phone to require a pin after 30 minutes for this very reason; outlook, onedrive, youtube, gmail, boards, Facebook, there could be potential mayhem!
    i would probably still change every password though if my phone or laptop was stolen.
