We all keep a lot of personal information on our phones and obviously dont want to share our correspondence, cryptocurrency wallets, or contacts to become a part of the public domain. Nonetheless, in some cases, authorities can ask you to provide full access to your device.

Is this even legal? Can you refuse to give your phone to law enforcement? How can you protect your cryptocurrency wallet?

It is true that the phone stores a lot of important personal information. A smartphone capable of storing large information. If someone views your phone, be careful. They may steal your password to work illegally. Need to protect bitcoins with secure passwords only you know.

Decrypting the password is not hard. Don't forget the alternative hijacking options and the existence of brute-force with the well-written "word list". In all cases, I prefer to store the private keys and BTCs in offline devices which have the offline way to process the transactions on the blockchain.
