Abstract
During the recent years, smartphones and tablets have become a fixture of daily life. They are used to run ever more tasks and services. Unfortunately, when it comes to password management, users are confronted with greater security and usability concerns than in the non-mobile world. This work presents a password manager for Android that can accommodate any app. Existing platform mechanisms are leveraged to better protect against malware and device theft, than current solutions. Our approach also provides significant usability improvements. No modifications are required to existing applications or to the mobile platform.
