Is Showpad for Gmail safe?
Showpad for Gmail sends its embedded Showpad OAuth client secret during the login token exchange.
When a user starts the Showpad login flow from Gmail, the extension posts the OAuth token exchange to the configured Showpad tenant. That request includes a client secret bundled in the extension's background script, so the credential is present in client-side code and transmitted from the browser during login.
