@matigo I don't think Facebook itself cares.
Why does WhatsApp care what number I give it? If I get their SMS validation message, what’s it to them?
@kdfrawg it's like I said, web browsers in general are problematic. Think about how often they are patched for security vulnerabilities, yet we use them all the time.
I would be more worried about LastPass if they were less responsive about security issues than they are.

@hybotics Android phones only last a couple years before they start doing that. :P

@matigo if you pay full price for the device, that's should certainly be true. I'm pretty sure $30 is a subsidized price as, at least based on what I know from working at Nokia, $30 barely covers the cost of goods and getting the device into the channel (Target in this case).
@matigo that's one of them. The other device I was able to unlock for $2 (which is about the right price).
I can wait 6 months and have Cricket unlock it, but that seems silly.
@kdfrawg to be clear, I'm not saying the browser plugins are insecure, I'm just saying a lot of the security problems that have been found in LastPass have involved their browser plugins. A distinction without a difference, perhaps.
Of course, web browsers in general are problematic too.
