stolen laptop and saved metatrader password risk

I was wondering, if you trade forex etc through a broker and your computer saves your metatrader password, easy to logon.... if your computer or laptop, or phone , got stolen, that could be a risk? I'm thinking they can't withdraw but they could still increase leverage and wipe the account with bad trades?

Not saying the average home break and eter thief is looking for this, but I'm thinking two ways to fix this:

1. Don't save metatrader passwords, always manually enter them

2. Enable some form of 2fa/otp for each time you log into metatrader if thats possible on metatrader 4 and metatrader 5 etc?

Hello,
Your computer or laptop, or phone must have login password or pin code enabled. If you have a laptop or computer then you should not trade with your phone.
1. If you are trading every day then it's very annoying to enter your password every time you log in into your account.
2. Some brokers allow you to use 2fa but once again, no need to do it every time you log in.
If you think that someone can get access to your trading account, then you can log in into your broker account through web site and change trading password or deactivate your trading account. You may even call them and ask to do that.

you can easily change mt4 password via most brokers client portals.

Thanks all

I agree it would be a pain to type in password each time logon. I was thinking like a worse case scenario where, say you're not at home for a few hours, or a day or whatever and if laptop/desktop was stolen, they might have already gotten in to access it if the password was saved. High leverage trades and wipe the account so to speak. Of course, thats worse case... if they did that, they would have done that before even had a chance to change mt4 since the computer was gone. I think most home break and enters may not even know a computer would have forex stuff on it, so this could be an unlikely scenario. Probably just sell for parts.

But yeah, to be extra safe perhaps I should just manually type in the password.
