Is 2FA Authenticator Guard safe?

Medium risk

2FA Authenticator Guard encrypts no-login TOTP secrets with a hardcoded password stored in the extension code.

In no-login mode, the extension stores encrypted authenticator account secrets in chrome.storage.local while protecting them with the fixed password "999999999" and a stored salt. Someone with access to the browser profile or extension storage can use the bundled code and stored values to decrypt those saved TOTP secrets.
