I have a question for the #DeltaChat crowd: What if someone has a quick access to one of my devices, let's say I forget to lock my phone or laptop and an attacker adds their phone as a secondary device to my profile. Is there any mitigation possible? Could I realize it? Could I disable their access?Cc @delta @ArcaneChat

Simplest idea I would have for that would be to switch off multi-device mode, change the password and add trusted devices again

But if they had access to your device, why would they spend time on only Delta, instead of just installing a rootkit? My point being, it's often said that if an attacker had physical access, the game is already lost
