This week I was stranded with two small kids on a lake in the urgent need of calling a family member to pick us up, but I didn't had a working phone anymore.
Since I don't remember any smartphone number I needed a device with internet to login to my Google account. I asked the first guy for his phone and internet access, but his data volume was throttled so Google run into a timeout. The second guy had decent mobile internet, but Google didn't recognise the device - who knew! - and asked for a second factor.
Long story short: I couldn't access any of my data (quickly) and I was carrying two kids while hiking home.I have two questions for you. First one is: Do you have still a way to access your data (contacts) quickly if you only have a mobile device from a stranger and would you mind telling me?
Second question: I had the idea of a GitHub hosted page that stores my emergency contacts encrypted. I have built up a prototype [1] but I am by now means a security expert and I am not sure if my encryption method is secure (enough) to host contacts online. Anyone mind giving me some feedback?
