Comment on Smartphone password managers are largely insecure

Comments

Conclusion from the article:

"Many password management apps offered on the market do not provide adequate level of security. We strongly encourage users not to rely on their protections but rather use iOS or BlackBerry security features.

For Apple users: set up a passcode, and a (complex!) backup password. Do not plug the unlocked device to computers you do not trust to prevent creation of pairing. If you can't encrypt backup for some reason, restrict access to it as much as possible."
