It's my understanding that Wickr recently implemented features to expose fingerprints. I'm not 100% certain. It would be an interesting experiment to see what happens with these fingerprints if you e.g. wipe your phone and reinstall, or move your SIM to a new device and install. Considering the ease with which an app could expose fingerprints and make no effort to tell people to verify them, I feel all apps should at least do that. -tom _______________________________________________ Messaging mailing list [email protected] https://moderncrypto.org/mailman/listinfo/messaging
