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)
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.

Yup I keep all my files on a thumb drive. I ALSO have a specific file with passwords on an encrypted file on my phone. It's not just password protected, it's also encoded, so anyone looking at it will not understand what it means. But I will, because I'm the one who created it and I know what the keys are to the code. For example (hypothetical, I'm making it up):
I might have an app for my Dirt Devil smart-vacuum robot. In order to use the app I have to log in. I can't ever remember obscure crap like that. So it's in the file on my phone. If I open the file I'll see a little emoji of a cute little devil. And then the letter O. And it'll be followed by an enlarged smiley-face and the characters: "lie%4".
What that tells me is it's the Dirt Devil app, the e-mail I used to create the account was
obb@hotmail.com and the password is Smyl3123%5.
There is absolutely no reason anyone would be able to figure that out, or even really care for that matter. Its meaning isn't clear. But I know exactly what it means and what to do with the data in the file.
