Even if this did happen how would you even enter your password/unlock it?? not like Shearwater is going to put FaceID, thumbprint reader, or a keyboard on a dive computer. Lets be realistic and think about what a diver computer is meant for.
I understand someone wanting to have a password but for myself it is not an issue. If your Perdix or Teric is stolen then the thief won't be worried about a password. They probably won't know if it had one or not. I was diving last year with a nice DM in Taiwan. She had a Perdix but didn't know about how to change the setup. So I showed here how to get TTS and Surf GF and explained what they meant. She would leave her Perdix lying around as the dive shop had security cameras. I picked it up and hid it. She says you have my Perdix and I said no this one is mine it stays on my wrist when I am in a dive shop. I gave hers back and we had a laugh but she got the point. Leaving it lying around would be too tempting. She thought the divers in Taiwan would not know what the Perdix is as they are mostly OW and OAW divers she takes out.
