Platform specific information

iOS

This plugin uses the SimpleKeychain Swift library for iOS.

Android

On Android it is implemented by AndroidKeyStore and SharedPreferences. Source: Apriorit

Web

There is no secure storage in browser (not because it is not implemented by this plugin, but it does not exist at all). Values are stored in LocalStorage, but they are at least base64 encoded. Plugin adds 'capsec' prefix to keys to avoid conflicts with other data stored in LocalStorage.
