Exactly what I wrote with the exception that I believe that obtaining physical possession of your phone and accessing your data that way has a lot less bang for the buck than simply grabbing the data directly from the cloud.
If I remember correctly you store your passwords on a thumb drive which means you have no access to them at all away from your home. (yes, you *could* plug the drive into a library computer but that would be a REALLY bad idea)

Your plastic ID card, on the other hand, can't access anything at all, currently. You can't use it to open a gate, you can't scan it on a Villages computer to get to your villages.net account. You can't use it to reserve a room at the rec center. In order to do those things, someone ELSE has to scan the card, which gives THEM access to your information and authorizations/permissions. That access is available on THEIR device, not on yours.

That depends entirely on how the digital ID is implemented. If it is implemented like a Panera rewards card or a ticket to a dinner event or a digital Sam's card or a digital drivers license or a digital insurance card or a digital AARP card then it would have EXACTLY the same capabilities as your plastic card.
