Is Okta Browser Plugin safe?
Okta Browser Plugin sends analytics telemetry to third-party services, gated behind org settings and user consent.
The extension collects user interaction data and sends it to Pendo (app.pendo.io) and Amplitude (api.eu.amplitude.com). Pendo receives enterprise user identifiers, browser metadata, and app-launch events when org-level tracking is enabled and consent has been given. Amplitude receives email addresses and user IDs for Okta Personal accounts, also subject to consent checks.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 11 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 6.49.0. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
