- Zikes 13y agoNo matter how well protected the phone or app is, the receiving service still only gets one factor of authentication.
- smsm42 13y agoPIN is short (usually). Which means if somebody gets their hands on your phone, they need to only guess about 13 bits of information (for 4-digit PIN) to get access to every site you ever logged in with this phone. That provided they actually use the PIN to encrypt the data, not just to check access to it, in which case once somebody gets their hands on the phone, it's game over.
