Android wish: segregate apps into security domains.

Android wish: segregate apps into security domains. I’d like some of my apps to be available even without a screen lock, and I’d like others to be locked behind a long password.

Right now Google Wallet protects itself with a 4-digit PIN, which is way too weak. To secure it, I would need to add a difficult screen lock to the whole phone. But then I have to type that password just to check the weather forecast.

Perhaps I could mess with the multi-user features of JellyBean, but those are only easily enabled for tablets.

From the link below, it looks like more payment options are coming to Android, which is good, but it makes the phone an even bigger target for theft than before.
