Why wouldn't it?
I've got a chinesium grade tablet with some very convenient features, but between self-reenabling background services, the completely bypassed permission system, the device crashing whenever adb is used, it still trying to access wifi networks after deleting them and "resetting" the system, ..., I'm pretty sceptical about the privacy of the data, you can encrypt after it gets synced to their cloud.
I dont have any email accs I care about added to this device, but I can imagine some people wanting to read some emails on other lesser trusted devices.
A simple solution would be giving lesser trusted devices only access to lower security keys.
- soraminazuki 2y agoThat's terrible operational security. You shouldn't be using the same email account in that scenario. Entering email credentials into an untrusted device will allow that device to send and receive emails, meaning it can read unencrypted emails. That's a major risk, considering that people might forget to encrypt them. Or they might simply follow other people's advice here and not use your advertised keys. Even granting untrusted devices access to encrypted emails pose a non-zero risk too because there are many ways it can go wrong.
