Things like this is why I trust an iPhone enough to handle two-factor auth for banking (in Sweden: "Mobil BankId"), but not an Android device.
I hope Google will raise the security level now that they have reached global dominance, in no small part through lax security (as a consequence to their liberal licensing models).

- johansch 11y agoBecause they have a working patching model, yes.

And before you nominate Apple for security sainthood, let's not forget the bruteforce / unlimited password attempts hack on iCloud that allowed hackers to get ahold of sensitive pictures belonging to celebrities.
