Are you asking how you would confirm without your phone or asking about someone stealing your credentials or impersonating you?

To the first I'd ask how do you confirm identity if someone steals your wallet? But also, I'd probably be able to confirm with my watch as well.

To the second, my phone would be a brick before they ever got it unlocked.
