Just looking to migrate risks of potential lost devices with admin access.
Many thanks for the clarification.

It is impossible to get the users passwords from the mobile device somehow just because the device doesn't receive, save or cache user passwords from the x-cart server.

In the same time the authorization process doesn't require admin's email and/or password too. Instead of it the App uses a secret key. The key must be generated by the admin at backend and stored in the app's settings. In case if the device has been lost or stollen the admin should generate new access key asap.
