@Kili that's what you posted before, but reliance on encryption and MFA only covers data at rest and in transit from cloud. When in use on your device, cached locally, it's vulnerable unless you possess sufficient skills to ensure confidentiality and device integrity is maintained. The value of passport data is so high, I wouldn't recommend anyone takes that risk.
BenCotto no, but it does come with extra acronyms to make me look even more, like, smarter yeah . Short version: don't store the most important documents and data - the ones that could impact your "real world" if stolen, like passports - on your phoneÂ
Unrelated note: my browser just auto-corrected "stolen" to "Stollen", and now I'm hungry for a piece. The Marks&Spencer pack of 5 Stollen slices is my favorite. Does anyone have any other recommendations?
With the latest encryption technologies and 2FA I have no qualms about storing documents in my online encrypted account.

Just to say I always go into the bank. Don’t have online banking and I try to use cash whenever possible. I also use a pen and paper to make notes, I have an address book and a calendar on the wall. I love my phone but I don’t want my whole life on it.Â
I tried home-made stollen a few years ago, to a recipe of my own invention, with a yeasted dough, and it failed to rise. I read the small print on the packaging, and both the glace cherries and the marzipan contained preservatives, and I daresay they killed off the yeast. I tried again, trebling the amount of yeast I put in, and it worked well.
Our local bank closed a couple of years ago ... to ‘go into the bank’ I’d have to go into the city centre on the bus ... no way I’m doing that at the moment ... I’m perfectly happy doing my banking online. Goodness knows how I’d manage without. The place where I used to live is now 20 miles from the nearest bank.Â

Plugs. How can we have standards and then allow people to sell plugs that have the leads coming out of the top of the plug? What's all that about? Just bought some digital plug timers without checking the target plugs first, and the target plugs, because of the wires coming from the top, don't fit without now first plugging in a two way.
I had old mechanical timers (the ones with the lugs that you push down to set) that were a bit flakey as their time keeping wasn't that good (and they used to get warmish that I didn't like). Got three digital ones from Argos (not advertising! - I used them because they're in Sainsbury's, so I combined it in one outing) for £20 which I though was ok. They seemed ok to set up - but they do have a ridge where the controls are that makes them 'top wired plug' unfriendly (unless you use something that takes the plug away from the surface like a two-way).

I do use online banking but agree with you on all the rest. I am on Facebook but was once accused on there of being a troll because I only have about 20 friends. Apparently "everybody had hundreds of friends" on Facebook. I only use it for a couple of travel related groups and to backup a couple of games I play regularly.Â
