well i suppose it depends on how deep your personal security goes. are your passwords stored on your device? are they stored securely? do you have a password manager? do you have a standalone app for your password manager and not a browser extension? is the master password for your password manager stored on any of your devices? do you have any settings that automatically locks your PC upon inactivity? is the pin for your PC related to you personally in any way? i get what you're saying because at the end of the day physical access IS pretty hard to mitigate. but you'd be surprised how far simple steps can take you.
