I'd be tempted to use two-factor auth (i.e. using a password as well as your phone) as the issue with only using a phone ot log is is that if someone else gets your phone and laptop/computer then they have access to all of the data. I'd be interested in a solution to this as I've used two-factor auth using PAM_USB in the past.
