That's the real question. If you've auto-login turned on, then your password is stored in a very insecure way.

If you turn on drive encryption and then add a "bios" password in the firmware to prevent recovery, that's about as protected as things get on Mac.
Which means until your hard drive is decrypted it's still protected and this app won't work.
In my case, this app won't work even when the computer goes to sleep. Why? I've set mine to re-encrypt on sleep, so it prompts me for the password -- to unencrypt -- every time.
I'm not adding this until Apple can use this as a second factor for the encryption -- or as a way to select a profile and load user data from the phone.
