In other words, we're right back to "write down those passwords, or try to make them easier to remember". The former which we're never, ever supposed to do. The latter which can make a password easier to brute force. And, as always, complicated by the need to use a different password for each and every site one is on. Undecided

(Do note: I don't store passwords on my phone, and indeed, I refuse to do my banking via my phone.)
