> Given Google's stance of not encrypting local storage in any way that I am aware of, this is fundamentally unsurprising. I have long been saying that Android is insecure and that storing passwords in Chrome is dangerous.

ChromeOS and Android both implement FDE. There are some legitimate criticisms of (especially) the latter, voiced by e.g. Matthew Green, but you're just speaking nonsense here.

There's very little value in per-app encryption on desktop OSes; it's security theater.

I shudder to think of what your "secure communications" app does. I hope you're a good lawyer. ;)
