Guest moonshot Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi I've just got my first Android phone, the Xperia Ray. I have used Google's contacts and calendar to sync my data. It works well. But I am a bit concerned about my information, which includes passwords etc. out there in the clouds. What is the best and safest way to sync Android contacts and calendar details? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jp514 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 You are doing it the best way. You can sync with outlook instead of google but that can be a pain in the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was the best wat to go, but what about the security of passwords etc? If I add up the sites, including bank, credit cards, web sites, online shops, utilities etc. I must have thirty plus usernames, pin-numbers & passwords that I keep in my phone. Do you trust your information being on Google? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you trust your information being on Google? Yeah I sort of trust them. Are you passwords etc in gdocs? You could setup two step authentication. Bit fiddly. READ up on it first.

Do you trust your information being on Google? You're using a phone with an OS controlled by Google. They probably know everything going through your phone anyway. The way I see it, if you're going to use an Android phone and use their services then you need to trust they will keep your stuff safe, and its probably safer having it stored by Google than other random 3rd party apps/services.

Guest jp514 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 No, my passwords are all under relevent names in contacts. Maybe have a look at something like spb wallet https://market.android.com/details?id=com.spb.wallet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
