yep, you are perfectly right and that's why I store passwords on microb for accounts that will not scare me. I addition to losing personal contact information, losing sensitive login information is disastrous in my opinion.

The opportunities for losing a phone are far more than a desktop and probably a laptop. That's why I do not store passwords on any system that will leave home.

All said about the risks, the work you have put in to copy password information from firefox to microb will be very useful for folks who need it, kudos and thanks.

I don't know how much a phone lock key would help in this case - are the contents of ~ still readable even without lock key? Quite possibly when unsoldering the flash chips.
