Anyone at risk: do not use an Android phone. You can literally cough in the direction of one to get access. Android security is a nightmare. On the other hand, iPhones and iPads are stellar, *stellar* security wise. Get the cheapest one you can afford (past 5s). Just do it.

For truly high-risk work (investigating a powerful nation-state or a corporation), this is great advice. Get a second dedicated device. You can get a Chromebook for under $200. No excuse for newspaper/investigative work. Segmentation is the best security. https://twitter.com/43blah/status/943496408635764736 …

TouchID has it uses, for sure. Guards against shoulder-surfing. But has downsides, too. I don't tell people not to use it, but consider the issue (which is explained more upthread).https://twitter.com/bitmaker_me/status/943640165230166016 …

I know I’m late here, but IMO TouchID/FaceID is *more* secure in public places where you don’t have to worry about someone compelling you to use it. Easy to get someone’s passcode by watching them type it in!
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
