Is IDX Password Manager safe?
IDX Password Manager wraps vault data with one hardcoded AES key, and can autofill credentials into any page from its URL parameters.
When you type your master password, the extension wraps it (and other vault fields) in AES encryption before sending it to the vendor's servers, but the AES key is a fixed string built into every copy of the extension, so anyone who can see the encrypted traffic can also decrypt it. Separately, on every website you visit the extension watches the page's URL for special autofill parameters; if present, it decodes a username and password from them and fills those values straight into the page's login form, without checking that the site itself put those parameters there.

1 other listing published from this account, 2k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 2 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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed IDX 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.
- vault.idx.us
IDX Password Manager sends data to vault.idx.us. No other extension we have analyzed sends data here.
