> While rooting a Samsung Galaxy S3 only takes about five minutes, the software tools required are uncommon enough that as long as your phone isn’t already rooted you likely don’t have anything to worry about. This is plain wrong: Any unrooted Android is insecure, because the exploit to root it is not fixed. The only way to make an Android secure is to root it, to install a newer version, and to upgrade it regular. The right way to store passwords would be: Ask for a master password at boot, to start an app, that is managing the password crypt. So far I know, nobody does this. So the 2nd best way is, to install the google play into emulator, and use something like titanium to move applications between emulator and phone.
