If Android gets compromised, for example, everything stored in the Secure Folder is protected thanks to this high level of encryption.Īndroid Auto obviously runs outside the Secure Folder, and in theory, it shouldn’t require access to this place unless one of the apps stored in there is configured to run as part of the car-optimized experience.Īnd yet, the wireless mode of Android Auto keeps requiring the password to read the contents of the Secure Folder, some users say, with the whole thing not happening when the app runs with a cable. The Secure Folder is a dedicated Samsung app that allows the creation of a secure space on the mobile device where apps and the rest of files are encrypted, therefore keeping them away from the rest of the operating system. More specifically, some users running the wireless version of Android Auto in their cars noticed that the app keeps asking for the password to the Secure Folder that’s already configured on their phones. Someone brought to my attention what’s likely a glitch in the wireless mode of Android Auto and which is currently impacting Samsung phone owners exclusively, as the app keeps trying to access files stored in an encrypted space on the device.
