The issue of losing a phone with login details ready to be taken by its finder is well written up. So my thought this is by design. A good thing.

My friend, upgraded his S3 for Nexus 5, leaving me with his mpj extended battery. I do have the S3 but have tucked in drawer for months and ran out of battery. Pop in the new and it turn on but jump right into safe mode. I rebooted the phone and it worked perfectly so far except I lost all login details and customizations. Wandering what may cause this?
