    Isn't that kind of what it was created for? They had to know from the start that not all the people and groups who used it would have noble intentions.

    I think it's important to note that the Apple KB explicitly states that the steps outlined in the parent comment and article do not work.

    I briefly switched from an iOS phone to an Nexus 5 and had the same issue. For other reasons, I switched back. A colleague of mine liked the Nexus a lot and made the switch after I…

    Those were my thoughts as well., I wonder though how long frozen eggs and sperm are viable. Could you really rely on then for 2000 years?

    The thing is that they don't appear to be random. Everyone with the same password had the same salt. I guess default isn't the right word. Whatever algorithm they used to generate …
