: Why passwords should not be stored on a mobile device

This link discusses the problem with password storage in modern mobile phones (e.g iOS, Android). Interesting to read.

Nice read.

Nice read.

I feel like it's less about people not caring, and more about having the mentality of "Oh, it doens't matter because who would want to steal my info/get my passwords anyway." At least, that's pretty much the consensus I get when I ever have a remotely security-related conversation with someone who isn't a part of our lovely community.

But yeah, good read. Thanks Axon. Makes me cringe to think that years ago I stored passwords in plaintext.

Exactly what I encounter when I urge my relatives to up their security :/
That and "I don't care if the government spies on me, I have nothing to hide" -.-

We should use the embedded secure element more often

Hell, the 'mobile revolution' is the whole reason I'm getting back into hacking/security. Great read by the way.

Until they realize that someone actually has read their shit.
Keep it all up in your brain. Use phrases + numbers that stick in your mind so you won't forget.
Nice read btw. 1+
