Yes I always worried about my privacy and recently so many incidents happens where our data is available for sale or hacked or shared with others. You can't do much about it even companies often told us that they will secure it but they still share it.
 
You don't allow anybody to be just toy with your phone by having access to your password, if it is compulsory you should give your phone to the other then make sure that you reveal your either phone or wallet pin code to the others
 
You should be, especially now that hackers are becoming many at an alarming rate and becoming more knowledgeable. You should always take precautions especially when putting sensitive informations like bank account passwords on the internet.
