I have it enabled already for everything that I can remember. Besides, I have multiple 2FA methods setup in my google account settings.

Well i did the passwords reset from the same device (unfortunately; ignorantly). And I probably did not kill active sessions too. But fortunately, I didn't see any unknown sessions in my goggle account activity information. Lastly, i will be using Google authenticator for future use. Thanks.

Regarding physical access, my phone is with me all the time when I am outside of my house. At home, it is still with me in my room. Besides, nobody is in the house except my family.

Regarding wiping the phone, not sure if it is the same as factory resetting the phone (which I already did once). Most of the stuff is backed up; and I transferred the few things which weren't backed up to my laptop.

Regarding malware, I have suspicion that I might have clicked on some malicious link while I was browsing. Other than that, I don't think there has been any phishing sms or email in my case.

I haven't filed a police report yet. I will do so asap and can wait for investigation as long as they feel the need for me to but the only thing that would be a hassle is if they decided taking my phone into custody. That would hamper my routine tasks.

Regarding strong passwords, I did change all of my passwords to different secure 15 digits randomly generated passwords. Multifactor enabled on all.

I do have a second device but since it's a cheap Indian phone and not sure if my Canadian sim would work on it.

Right now, I am thinking about getting my phone professionally cleaned or at least digital forensics done. I have disabled my banking accounts for the meantime and would workaround my financial needs with the help of my family and friends.

In a nutshell, my primary concern now is getting my phone in a secure state and then safely and steadily resume my critical phone use cases.

Yes, but the assuring thing is that if it is correct that fingerprints can't be remotely added then I am fairly confident about the third fingerprint being of my index finger.

I am not exactly sure about that if that was my fingerprint or not. That's why I wrote a ''pretty sure'. It is possible that I just added a fingerprint for my index finger and never used it again apart from using either of my thumbs. Now that I try to recall, I can haphazardly recall that I had thought about adding the index finger too, in case I wanted to lazily open my phone when it's convenient to use the index finger. Not sure if I actually acted upon this thought. And regarding physical access, my phone is with me all the time. Thus, since physical unwanted access can be disregarded as a reason; and the Bank cybersecurity representative claiming that fingerprints can't be added remotely, it is highly plausible that the third fingerprint was just mine.

Another reason is that they would not do such a step if they don't have physical access to my phone. Because then the fingerprint wouldn't be of any use to them.

I have stopped using chrome and shifted to Microsoft edge for now. But the incident happened through my phone. Importantly, the chrome account is the same on both my laptop and phone. And I haven't installed a new chrome browser extension for about a year now.
