How should the password for the keystore be protected? For the mentioned use-case where Authenticator is installed on SD-card, having a hard-coded password or one that is also stored on the SD-card would not yield any additional security.

@capi The Android Keystore does not store passwords on an SD card in any situation as far as I'm aware.

It's much more than just a hardcoded password. On devices with hardware backed keys, extraction becomes difficult.

@Manouchehri Thanks for the clarification, my mind was set way to much to the standard Java keystore.

I'm guessing that not using the Android keystore was why I was able to recently restore Google Authenticator from a Titanium Backup with all my tokens intact.
