Half of Android "password managers" are scams.
- rhinoceraptor 7y agoI’d bet half of all Android apps are scams.
- chopin 7y agoI bid higher...
- thrownaway954 7y agoI'm sure there is an app that could tell us the true count.
- viraptor 7y agoHave you got the numbers for it, and a proof that significant number of people actually use them? Searching for password manager I got to 16th entry before reaching an unknown author and ~40 positions before I reached anything really questionable. Even assuming the install numbers are not inflated, you don't get more than 10k users on the lower entries. There are probably some scams down the list, but claiming half of them are without an explanation is just FUD.
- yxhuvud 7y agoWhile that may or may not be true, I can quite understand why the bank would want to have some certification or something of the password manager to ensure the security. A password manager that is insecure is worse than no password manager.
