    This seems like a relatively simple process and does give you a slightly elevated level of security, but as the post points out, they can still take your phone and manually scroll through things. They obviously need your password to do this, but they can compel you into turning that over relatively easily if they really wanted to.

    If you lose access to your laptop or pairing record then you will also be locked out of connecting to your phone.

    This is the only major downside I can see. If your computer crashes, you lose not one device, but two.
