Android have a secure storage - EncryptedSharedPreferences
Describe the solution you'd like
Will you consider to go for EncryptedSharedPreferences as Android official secure storage?
Additional context
As SharedPreferences is then extended to Encrypted Shared Preferences which store data in the same way (key, value pairs) but in an encrypted way. Both keys and values are stored encrypted.
Didn't know about that. Will consider it.
It isn't quite as simple as you think.
It's unlikely to happen (at least by me), because it will require converting the existing data and a bunch of extra code. I have neither the time nor the appetite to do it. If someone wants to submit a PR I'll take a look. The PR must:
- Check if the API is 23+ and return SharedPreferences or EncryptedSharedPreferences accordingly.
- If API 23+, convert existing data.
- Exclude encrypted shared prefs from backup.
