    If you're doing anything that deals with financial situations, always do it at home.  Never do purchase transactions with your phone.  Another thing stop putting your debit, or credit card information on your phones.

    28-digit recovery key which can be easily changed or disabled by thiefs when they know our 6-digit phone unlock code. So it does not protect at all and can even make it harder for us to recover our account once they change it to some new code which we don't have.

    Am I better of if not using a passcode - deactivating the passcode - and using (similar or individual) passowrds for entering most critical apps?

    enable a separate screen time passcode and also regularly perform manual backups on your computer
