Can someone who has outside root access use my passwords that are behind fingerprint ID.

What about an app that has two factor autentication.. can outside root access take the SMS and enter the number when logging in to the app then delete the SMS?
 
Even if it’s not. Assume you screwed up and reset to factory state and start over with new passwords. If this is hypothetical then anything is possible.


Apple may warn you as your phone sends like 20mb of system information to Apple everyday - but this number just came from memory so don’t hold me to it. Almost every time it is user error that results in a compromised phone. Even decent coders get caught doing stupid things…
