If this is a security bug then so is leaving your keys in the front door while out or leaving your car running while using the ATM machine in a bad neighbourhood late at night.

Security vulnerabilities involve a loss of control. That is, in order for a flaw to constitute a security vulnerability, it must be possible for an attacker to compel the victim to submit to the attack despite reasonable efforts to avoid it.

If you read all of the initial post the bug was fixed in 3.1.

If you read all of the initial post, more carefully, you'd see that it was edited, obviously after I had posted.

If someone is going to take your phone while you are entering your password they might have earned it However if you save your logins and lose your phone you got it coming. Don't save logins
