I agree with @admin_0 if they can get into your phones text or your email. You're already screwed. I suppose...with a text..you've got a 50/50 chance of being able to read it as the text notification pops up on the lock screen. Oddly, I don't have my texts hidden. It's convenience for me. Don't have time to open my phone every single time I get a message. Which almost backfired when I was dating a co worker. Smartly I left her number a phone number. No name assigned. One of my other co workers decided to read it. Good thing I planned ahead. I dunno, man. I been trying to get past that lock for years. I'm not gonna find the picture this late. Basically if it's one of three things that shows up after you restore the phone. Then I'm good. It's not lost or stolen, and I'm not doing anything bad. I know Apple repurposes old devices, turned in for $300 and a "new" device. There's still billions of em out there gone waste. I think it would be best for the community, if we could repurpose these devices. I believe if even one of the 52?? Guam and Puerto Rico? Got the right to repair bill. You should be able to go to that state, and they now legally have to either sell or give us schematics for how to get one of those secret machines no one can touch
