It of course requires on device lock, like a pin or biometrics.
Also anyone with a nibble of security awareness will have their phone properly secured so it cannot be opened by anyone else.
(My phone requires face match, fingerprint or 6 digit pin. Additionaly it locks up to only accept the pin if it moves out of range of my smartwatch. It can also be remotely locked further, traced, and even remotely wiped)
If you run your phone without security pin or fingerprintint lock, this would be the least of your worries if your phone got stolen.
How are your banking apps secured?
