Android (the OS) prefers it does not have to “handle” master secrets…\n\n???\n\nlyricism:\n\n> I think the issue is just that you can’t really measure entropy of a non-random password. Cryptographic entropy is a property of the mechanism by which the password was generated, not the password itself. That’s why a passphrase of x characters has less entropy than a password with x characters. If someone creates a password that’s just their name any entropy estimate will be inaccurate. You need a secure random method of generation for any entropy estimates to be accurate.\n\nFor example:\nYou generate 12 characters out of a pool of 30 characters.\nThe entropy is 5.31441×10¹⁷, expressed in base2 it would be 58.9bits of entropy.",
