Reply to comment by Shaila_boof in Millions of passwords stolen from LastPass earlier than company disclosed: Report by BasedSweet

Information is encrypted before sending to Google ( I am assuming you are using chrome), so even Google doesn't know your passwords. Therefore, generally pretty safe.

That's a new feature (only since June 2022), and AFAIK isn't automatically enabled.

Definitely not. It's been used way longer. No one sends plain text passwords since the late 2000s unless it's an amateur made website.

I guess Google is made by amateurs, since on-device encryption was introduced just last year.

completely a different thing and this encrypts using your device and you need to enter your password to decrypt it. The password is still is not being sent to google as plain text and has never been.

Are you really arguing that "well, technically it's sent via TLS" is actually adequate for a password manager?
