Till date, there are more than 3.5 million apps in Playstore. And surely with so many apps, the same question of the legitimacy and security of the app would bound to arise.
Likewise, MOM: Not important Password is not exempted from this question. Nobody would believe the salesman praising his own product. Likewise, even if we said Yes, our app is safe to use, it would not be as believable as finding out for yourself.Thats why it would be great to present a few points for you to decide for yourself.
1) Without storing data online, is there really things to hack?
As we have no need/access for your personal data, your data is stored/isolate to your mobile device, unlike regular password managers where data are stored in servers/cloud.Online data storage required high level of expertise to maintain security because hacker could easily disguise as an normal online transaction to penetrate the system. Having said so, even the big players have a problem with that.
But if there is no online presence, how do you even get in to access the data? Singapore public services understand this face and goes on to practice internet separation in their device.
2) If the only way in is via the phone, can hacker just hack into the device?
The answer, is No, it is not as easy as you thought it would be. Mom is as safe as any apps that you have installed in your device eg. Instagram, Telegram, Whatsapp, etc. This is because your mobile device (android) is designed in such a way that there are sandbox surrounding each app and hackers will not be able to access unless you installed malware granting them permission to access.If you are really infected with a malware, not only your personal data in MOM is compromised, other apps you had your device would be compromised too. That being said, there have been not been any reported cases of serious malware circulating in android system yet.
3) So if they can't enter remotely, what happen if my phone is stolen or secretly intruded? Would they be able to access it physically?
There is a good reason to have a screen lock function on access of your phone. It would make it harder for strangers or even your good friend to access your mobile device and view the private/important content inside.4) If they really do managed to past the screenlock, am i really doomed?
First of, MOM:Not Important Password Manager is not just a password manager. It is the first and only manager that managed your NOT IMPORTANT PASSWORDS. So even if strangers have access to it, they have no access to your bank/financial institution nor they have access to important/confidential data.And because MOM allows you to store a unique password to your not important account. They would not able to access accounts that are important.
