Security flaw in Android (by design)
- manmal 15y agoHow is this a security flaw? Mobile devices are not meant to be shared - they don't have multiple user accounts - meaning you theoretically are not supposed to give the tablet to anyone else. People can use your FB & Twitter account etc. What the OP wants is a guest account, which I support. But this is a choice Google made, no security flaw.
- xxqs 15y agofor a non-technical user, this is a security flaw. You buy a tablet, activate it with your gmail account, and next thing is your private email is exposed to your party guests.
- voidr 15y agoFor non technical users the browsing history gets exposed too along with chat logs... I would be a lot more worried about those. Basically the problem would be the lack of guest accounts or guest mode. Every time I let someone use my laptop for browsing I open up an incognito window in Chrome.
- xxqs 15y agowell, that too, of course. So Ubuntu rules anyway :)
