I'd actually like to know what the process was like after the assault. If you unlocked your phone and 'other accounts' what'd you have to go through to sort it out?

Presumably that included a bank acc app on your phone, can you get that cash back, etc?

I've only had bank apps in the UK(Barclays, Lloyds and Santander) but the app on the phone only allows you to send money to known recipients, to send money to a new account you have to log in from a normal browser and use your RSA-signer(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Barclays...) to authenticate it, and no one I knows keeps theirs on them. So even if I was forced to open my bank app the worst thing they could do is see my account balance and send some money to my friends or my landlord.
