Identity theft?

As far as I understand, there are no way of securing personal data on an android phone (?)
Now that millions are walking around with unsecured devices with their google account information, facebook, twitter, etc logins all stored in cleartext, doesn't this open up for huge problems with identity theft and general security issues with people putting more and more of their life in these services, but losing their mobiles and let others get to their data?
Not meaning to troll, just concerned, and just got an android mobile...

It is not clear to me if that helps secure i.e. stored passwords from the browser, or passwords/credentials for the different apps.
I'd appreciate all insight on this issue!

Editing Default App Associations?

Some time ago I selected the default internet browser to launch anytime I clicked a link in GMail. Now that I've installed other browsers, I'd like to choose a different one to launch instead. How can I change it?

Settings > Applications > Browser > Clear defaults

Accessibility is for disabled people (e.g. blind, deaf). Applications that are designed to assist with navigating the device should appear in there.

[Q] How do you disable auto login in the browser?

While trying out the HTC One S browser I noticed that it used my stored Google and Facebook account credentials to log on to the relevant (Google/Facebook) pages automatically, without asking. Is there a setting to prevent this from happening, or at least ask me before doing it?
There was such an option in the browser settings of the Sandvold ICS ROM I used on my Desire, but I can't seem to find the option in the same place on the One S.

It's probably under accounts & sync or there may be an option in your browser. Try going to menu > settings > applications > browser > clear data. Then start a new session and see if it prompts again...

Enable contact searching from the search bar

I saw couple of videos on Youtube about Realme 2 pro and they were able to search the contacts (along with apps and messages) when they swiped down from any of the screen. Unfortunately am not able to search contacts. App and messages search works fine. I checked the search settings also and all three searches are turned on (Settings > Additional Settings > Search).
Is it working fine for everyone here? Anyone knows what could be the problem?

Solution
Settings > Application Management > click show system processes > go to "Search" App. Give this app permissions to view contacts . You should be good

I checked and Search already has permission to view contacts but still it's not working

Leagoo T5 OS2.1 C 20181025

LEAGOO_T5_OS2.1_E_20181025 based custom rom with root and updates.
Magisk will modify nvram to suit it's purpose. Write down your phones IMEI's, bluetooth and wifi MAC's, and serial number (barcode).
This will allow you to fully format the phone, reinstall the stock rom, and enter your details via "SN Write Tool".
Refer to the provided "Install.txt" for more info, including modifying the rom yourself.
----
Overall performance, general performance and battery life are improved, high demand scrolling is much more smooth.
3D Mark tells me my Leagoo T5 is running 25% faster than other stock based Leagoo T5 devices.
----
I suggest adding fingerprint authentication to Magisk, this prevents users installing alternative explorer apps, and gaining root.
If you install the provided explorer, you can also add protection, ideal if the app is set to auto authenticate.
File encryption is optional (Settings > Security > Encrypt), or use the "Data protection" locker.
The device is certified and 100% stable.
----
Email setup: Enter account > Manual setup > Select IMAP > Add password > Incoming, 'Next' > Outgoing, disable 'Require sign-in'.
Google will ask if this was you, but will be happy with the settings, and will not have a security issue.
Note: failing to disable the password on the second setup screen will cause an issue.

To get a better browser experience, use a different webview mode, by default the Android webview mode will autoplay videos.
Chrome will allow you to use desktop mode, other browsers also support: Android, iPhone, iPad and desktop views.
Firefox for Android is another alternative, it uses it's own webview mode which does not autoplay.
