Try turning it off and on again. - The device is working, but not consistently.
Try updating all OS and other software. - The device won’t turn on at all.

Try living with a great sense of suspicion and mistrust, and always make little notes for yourself like a detective in case you need to retrace your password steps. Or have a recovery email. Or a trusted friend to help.
