Lets talk mobile wallets for a minute.

...

WHAT ABOUT iOS?
As far as I know, there is no UNO wallet available for iOS (am I right?).

...


Actually, although not a full node type wallet, jswallet runs perfectly well on iOS devices.

Cryptapus - the creation on the wallet and the private key is work ofline. When I turn Wi-Fi off my IPad generate the wallet and key offline. So I wondering if i copy this bookmark for the wallet +the key on paper. Is it going to be like paper wallet with better security? I mean this bookmark looks to me like to be used as key plus we have the option to chose key for the wallet itself...that's look like double key with better security than paper wallet? Is that correct or is in my crazy imagination only?....Can we use this to store long term , or It is not appropriate?

Let's look at an example for an explanation:

https://cryptap.us/uno/jswallet/#aXVQ5SaSkFeKnUZHRepwmR8pPb6Jp5

Notice the random characters after the "#". This was generated using the entropy of mouse movements when generating the wallet. "aXVQ5SaSkFeKnUZHRepwmR8pPb6Jp5" is actually a random brainwallet and you can even use a copy of the paperwallet html site to recreate it off-line if you like. jswallet does not send any information back to the host server (all modern browsers ignore anything after "#", or at least the open browsers like chrome and firefox do), so you didn't need to go offline for this (of coarse that's assuming your OS and browser have not been compromised). You can save the bookmark and recall it as you like. This assumes that how you are storing your bookmarks is secure, so don't share your bookmarks Smiley

You can even do non-random brainwallets, like:

But that's certainly not recommended.

If you add a password during the creation of the wallet, only part of the hash is saved in the bookmark URL. You will need to supply the full password to unlock it (the javascript checks the full hash of the password to compare a partial match).

KryptoKit did a good job here, no RushWallet has been compromised that I am aware of. To my knowledge, it should be safe to store long term (just keep a copy of the paperwallet site or export the private key in case I disappear some day).
