Description
Adversaries may utilize standard operating system APIs to gather account data. On Android, this can be accomplished by using the AccountManager API. For example, adversaries may use the `getAccounts()` method to list all accounts.(Citation: Android_AccountManager_Feb2025) On iOS, this can be accomplished by using the Keychain services.
If the device has been jailbroken or rooted, adversaries may be able to access [Accounts](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1636/005) without the users’ knowledge or approval.
