Is Password Depot safe?
Password Depot captures login credentials on all web pages and forwards them to the local Password Depot desktop app via native messaging.
When a form is submitted on any website, the extension serializes the username, password, page URL, and page title into XML and sends the data to the background script. The background script relays the package to the native host 'de.acebit.passworddepot' running on the same machine, enabling the desktop password manager to record and autofill credentials.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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 Password Depot 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.
