Waves wallet lacks a considerable amount of security features. Your seed is kept and encrypted on your phone and temporarily 'unlocked when you sign a transaction' They also use pin protection instead of a password for easy access but it also means that it is easier to break in. They say they have plans to improve security but time will tell.
