You sit at a desktop in the kitchen to use the computer. If you have shown yourself to be responsible you know your password.

The wifi shuts off at bedtime.

My 11-12-13 year old kids have Apple Watches for communication purposes but no smartphones. These are charged all together in a locked pantry at night.
