    I left my email and facebook open :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I closed facebook session from my compute, what about my emails? I changed my passwords already, but the sessions open automatically... does it mean that changing the password is useless since my phone remembers it?

    Is there a way they can see my email if I changed my password?

    I'm pretty sure if you change your password your phone will ask for the new password once. So it is definitely worth changing it asap.

    I am so sorry that has happened.. I know with iPhones there is an app called find my phone and if you can't find it, you can erase everything on it so if someone picks it up, everything is gone.. I think changing passwords is a good idea, it does ask you to re-input the new password for emails as well.

    Do what I do. Have it so that the person entering your account needs a verification code, which is a six digit number. Then you can get it sent to your phone and thus you're the only one that can enter it.

    If the password is wrong, it shouldn't be able to fetch new emails. Perhaps it will show any previously downloaded emails though.

    This also depends on the make and model of your phone. Realistically, the thieves will probably wipe it and try and sell it on.

    Ah man, I'm sorry, it's horrible to have that happen to you.

    Dude, just call your provider and request them to brick your phone. They can wipe all the data from it and add it to the National Blocklist making it effectively useless to anyone.
