Comment on Password Breach? That'll Be $172,000,000 Pleaseparent

Then one user's password gets stolen, as opposed to thousands.

Yes, it certainly mitigates the scale of a potential breach and I like that the reduced scale/potential value makes it a less attractive target to hackers (assuming the server side is also built in a secure way). I havent investigated, but it makes me nervous to think that if my phone is stolen, the thief gets my data too.
