Is Avira Password Manager safe?
Avira Password Manager sends the domain and subdomain of every credential autofill, save, and OTP action to Mixpanel with a persistent per-user identifier.
Each time you autofill a password, save a credential, or request a one-time code, the extension transmits the site domain and subdomain to api.mixpanel.com. The data is tied to a server-assigned distinct_id that persists across sessions, linking your activity to a single profile. Telemetry is enabled by default but can be turned off via the 'Share anonymous statistics' setting in the extension options.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
2 other listings published from this account, 15.0M+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Same operator - 15 listings
Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.
Shared hosts - 14 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 2.21.0.5015. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Avira Password Manager contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
