---> it'd be great if one could purge unwanted entries out of the VKB's dictionary by some handy hacking instructions until a better solution / functionality will be available.
Some blame Android apps for this issue - all I ever installed have been 4 Android apps: Opera, kindle reader, VLC Player and makimono. But I don't think if it's them that could be blamed for. Login into Google's Playstore or maybe Jolla's store are more likely being responsible to this issue - unfortunately my passwords to these two stores are identical ;-) - but other than my email passwords. I never did any webmail or sensitive online banking in Android's Opera browser: first I haven't informed enough about the trustworthiness of Opera's Android edition, second as I uninstalled Opera again because it wouldn't allow a fluent playback of arte 7+ video content. The jolla browser does it way better :-) (except for screen rotation :-/) ...

I'm sorry if I misunderstood that question earlier, but posting another question about the same thing is contra-productive. Instead you should re-open your old question, or, if you can't do that, post a comment in that question stating that your question was misunderstood and wasn't answered.
Mohjive ( 2014-01-13 00:44:38 +0200 )editI agree that there has to be implemented a feature when tapping on any word proposal above the VKB you could take control of it ( purge / appearance / affiliation / priority ).... and maybe if tapping in between proposals you're able to manage general VKB cache settings / dictionaries ....

So a more future-proofed VKB approach requested here: https://together.jolla.com/question/14249/feature-request-advanced-integrated-vkb-contents-dictionary-management/
