Can you explain? I don’t see Plex. Does it require you to create an account outside of your self-hosted service? Does your instance delegate its login to some third party then?
This is true. You create a plex account, which allows you to log in from anywhere and will give you access to your media. The real problem is that if your outside internet goes down, you can’t log into your own server.
let’s be honest: Even if this account was logged into some device that gets lost or something… what could happen? None of the apps can actually do any admin stuff. Even if it could: What harm could anyone do really from within the Plex container?
