Does anybody know an app like OnlyMe that works on the NX and helps you protect your data from somebody trying to access your device?

thx

Why do you need a external security device?
The new OS works with 128bit encryption and automatically sets your private items hidden after a custom period of time..

I set a 8-12 hour timeout in the OS and for more critical data I use STRIP to encrypt it with 256 bit AES or CryptoPad w/BlowFish.

In the end, it all comes down to how good your password is:
haunting
-not good, in the dictionary
hnautng
-better, not in the dictionary
hnautnghse
-longer, even better
hnautnghse3683
-wider character range
hn3aut6nghs8e3
-mixed types, makes brute-force even harder
hn3%a_ut6n?ghs8e/&3
-perfect, but how the heck should I remember such a monster???

there are several ways to remember..
"If I Was A 16 Year Old Child. I Lived #23 And Had Only 5$ That Was 56% A Worker Had!
Passphrase: "IIWA16YOC.IL#23AHO5$TW56%AWH!"
You can choose the sentence yourself(this password is reserved already :) )

BW you can lower the wage as well..

I used "LW" as my password, so if I forget my name, I am in trouble :D!
