"4. Ditch PIN codes and opt for biometric security."
This is problematic. Biometric data can be compelled against your wishes to unlock your phone. A PIN cannot be via legal precedence. This is bad advice. The statement of "Well you can't copy fingerprint or iris data" is horseshit. Iris data is harder but fingerprints are ridiculously easy to spoof unless the phone also has a built in heat and pressure sensors. All you need is something that the person has touched recently.
