The thing is that phones can be lost, robbed, broken more frequently than a Desktop. It is more a safety thing than a security thing I think.
This. Even if I was sure that online wallet is secure and never will be hacked there is always possibility of physical robbery,
you can drop your phone, soft update can go wrong etc.
There is no such problems with stationary PC. Even I thief broke to my home (highly unlikely) he would take my laptop or smartphone first, because my PC is rather heavy and big.
lmao seems u arent familiar with smarthphones at all? You dont lose your coins if you drop your phone, you can revover it easily. btw your pc can just malfunction, get virusses, get damages and tons of other things aswell.
Really? How do you recover the coins from a phone you dropped that the screen completely shattered so that it is unusable? And smartphones can malfunction, get viruses, and become damaged and tons of other things as well.
For a thief to access your coins, he would need to unlock your finger print to even access the phone, or your passcode or pattern code, then he has to unlock your app (if you have set up passcode for apps), then he has to send your money which also requires the passcode. Untill then i already have transferred my funds somewhere else, so good luck buddy.
That is only if you set a passcode for your phone, the app, and the wallet.
You can recover your coins from another device if your phone breaks, regarding stealing if you have money stored in your phone u must be smart enough to have passcodes on it aswell. Untill the thief has unlocked everything i already have transferred my funds somewhere else.
I surf the web, download movies, games, etc. on my pc so its a greater threat than my phone, not to mention i can access my funds on my mobile much more easily and make payments.
