4 Levels of Security of MOM:Not Important Password Manager

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.

Data Leak in Dark web and ways to guard against it

"In 2017, security researchers at  4iQ  discovered a 41 GB files containing  1.4 billion email addresses and password combination  in the  Dark Web.  This huge database is an aggregation of 252 past breaches including LinkedIn, Netflix." Guess that you have read of the breaches and realized that there is no 100% fool-proof system. The onus to stay safe lies on both the provider and the user. We tend to use the  same passwords or/and user name  across multiple digital accounts. More often than not, there would be accounts that you would not access more than once a month. However, not all websites are secured. Some may even share your personal details. If you use the same password throughout, it is time to rethink the way to manage your passwords. Giving hackers access to accounts tied to financial institutions eg. game, shopping, etc means a whole spell of disaster. How then is it possible to keep track of all the online accounts you have and maintain a unique usernam
