Is Total AV Password Vault Assistant safe?
Total AV Password Vault Assistant reads form credentials on all websites and forwards them to the local TotalAV app via native messaging.
The extension injects a content script into all HTTP and HTTPS pages. When a user submits a login form, the script reads the username, password, and domain, then relays that data to the TotalAV native host (com.totalav.passwordvaultassistant) running on the same machine. No credentials are sent to remote servers; the data stays on the local device and is only passed to TotalAV's companion application.
