Is the Stored Variables feature secure (Keychain/Keystore)? I understand either way it’s in it’s own sandbox, are these variables simply stored as text? ---

Thank you for trying to answer, but that is not my question. I am aware it’s on the device. My question is asking HOW it’s stored on the device. I would like for someone from Thunkable to answer. ---

@aaminahmansuri59h No, it doesn’t help. I would **respectfully** ask, if you don’t work for Thunkable, please don’t answer this question. It doesn’t help to have incorrect answers on posts. ---
