If they find the second phone, that is not an offense to have a second phone. They ask for a phone, you gave them a phone. They never asked for a second phone. For iPhone owners, this makes sense to carry a second phone since it can only hold one SIM card. Why make it easy for these people to violate your personal space?
Bwwahahaahahaaaahaaaa it seems you havent read this whole thread properly, Even US / Australia (1st world countries) will ask you to show your phone to them, if they find you hiding another phone, what do you think will happen to you lol
Good luck going through borders.
Thats normally to another email address, which again I don't remember the password. Its actually hard to remember all these passwords (especially if they are good, safe ones), if you don't have to log in every time.Original Post Deleted
I mean I do have the passwords somewhere so im not totally screwed, but I wouldn't remember them off the top of my head
Had an officer ask me to show him my phone last year while returning home (edit: Canada, forgot to mention) last year with my wife (she's got a Hong Kong passport as she's a HK native).
I reported the guy and his supervisor got back to me within a week and we discussed the incident. Although I didn't know the offending officer's name, the time/description was sufficient for his supervisor to identify the guy. I don't know what happened to him, but I hope he received just a reprimanding or training and didn't lose his job. He didn't ask me any questions or anything, just a power trip.

Only China will ask you to login to your accounts. Not remembering your passwords will get you a trip to a re-education center. In the US the courts have established that the right to access your device at the border does not extend to remote servers. The US only asks for your account name, no passwords etc. Their own guidelines even require CBP staff to turn the phones airplane mode to limit searches to the physical device only.
