Sorry re basics qu.s, I'm about as tecchie as a frog and this is my first experience of machinery (not counting the kettle).

I bought a basic chain from Lidl for £8.99. It weighs a couple of kilos
and fits under the seat (just). Problem is you have to know in advance
(from Lidl leaflets) when motorcycle accessories are to be sold and come
to the shop on the appropriate day early in the morning when the doors
are being opened.
Of course, at work I use a more massive chain, but I don't have to carry
it around so the size and weight don't matter.
I wouldn't rely too much on "sold secure" or similar stickers. As far as
I recall the locks which can be opened with a ball pen had all the right
stickers.
