Curious about the security of mobile wallets. Why are they considered less secure than other wallets? I currently use Trust Wallet which uses fingerprint ID or a pin. If my phone were to be compromised how would anyone be able to access it? How could they obtain my pin/fingerprint?

When people talk about wallet security it's usually not about the in person security, it's the online side of things.

That being the case I would never, ever use a wallet based in a browser or on any internet connected Windows PC. Mobile wallets are a step up in security compared to both of them.
