I am not going through this wall of BS point by point but here is a fine example of how I know you have no clue what your talking about...

One place I strongly disagree with Graphene OS is the sandboxed Google services framework. They say having Google in a sandbox is more secure. It may be more secure, but it isn't going to be as private as MicroG.

MicorG has privileged access to you phone, it literally has no privacy benefits over even standard Google Play. You are just choosing to trust MicroG with that level of access instead of Google.

Honestly just don't use GOS if you don't believe in its benefits or at least sack up and post this on their official forum.

I would probably focus on getting that fixed and tell your employer that they need to provide you a work phone or pay you a stipen.

Profiles are a pretty big feature to not having working on Android in general but, especially on Graphene.

You dont need shelter. Just create another user profile.

This made me laugh. Anyone who has lived in central or south america sees this type of thing happen all the time.

Yup, your just choosing between giving Google or microG privileged access to your phone. Both options aren't great from a security or privacy perspective.

There is a very relevant xkcd for this exact question.

Tldr dicewords are the better option. You can still add numbers, symbols, and capitalize if you really want even more entropy.

If you use dicewords it's honestly pretty easy to remember. My master password for bitwarden is over 50 characters and it was a breeze to remember.

This is missing a critical piece of context. What is your threat model? Its impossible to know if what your doing even makes sense without that. What are you trying to protect and who are you trying to protect it from?

Lmao putting facts in quotes does not makes them less true. Figures, that when confronted with reality you would immediately start relying on logical fallacies.

Just because you are more at risk of being compromised does not mean you will be compromised. This is obvious.

You don't have to respond if your just going to be a child about it.

Those are partial security patches (its not in the same ballpark as a non EOL phone).

Even non EOL phones are usually updated dangerously slow when it comes to LineageOS.

Some more sources, not sure why I'm even adding them as you seem hell bent to believe LineageOS is secure regardless of the facts.

No, thats totally silly and disregards the app sandboxing, security features and a multitude of other benefits GOS provides regardless of if you use proprietary apps.

Nothing. The effort required to make a meaningful impact against this type of threat is way beyond my threat level.
