Ohh my young childhood!
I remember my first phone: Sony Ericsson K700i. A fucking brick with a small joystick.
So when i was bored i of coursw was dicking around in different apps.
Password manager was preinstaled in utility section.
I can confirm that password manager used encryption. And it was interesting! Every password had a name and the value. Master password didnt block access! It even allowed you to see all those passwords when you provided wrong master password! But all of they would be garbage because it tried to decrypt them using a wrong password!
Oh those were the times...
The following just happened in the bus:
A woman took a beautiful Enpora flip phone from 2008 out of her pocket. While she did that a small yellow paper fell on the ground. My eyes pointed at the paper and I saw multiple usernames, passwords and codes on it.
I didn't even hesitate and tapped on her shoulder and gave it back.
She was frightened! Couldn't thank me enough and told me how important it was to have that with her. She said she couldn't remember all her passwords and that if she would've lost it, she didn't know how to log in and unlock her phone anymore.
I gladly told her that it wasn't very safe but ofcourse I understoot that it can be hard to remember everything.
Also I almost told her that she could start using a password manager but with a flipphone you can't use that of course ;)
