It looks like a good product. If they offered a true offline version for desktop with 4+ updates a year, I could see myself paying for it.

#172I feel like the first thing we should talk about is how this is effectively a keylogger, similar to Windows 10's inking and typing setting, albeit with likely poorer security. Collecting everything you type into a web browser (or MS Office) and sending it to them seems like a really bad idea.
Aren't all password managers keyloggers too?

Your brain. If you offload too many tasks to computers, those skills will weaken.
> Your brain. Trying I promise, even different languages. But I'm not a native speaker and a bit dyslexic. So someone or thing looking over my shoulder would be nice.

I am too paranoid to use them, but, from what I read (regarding the biggest one): "LastPass encrypts your Vault before it goes to the server using 256-bit AES encryption. Since the Vault is already encrypted before it leaves your computer and reaches the LastPass server, not even LastPass employees can see your sensitive data" If there is an attack still possible (even using LastPass employees) can you post it here?
I used LastPass for a while. Then it filled in my username and password (correctly) on a website without my having authenticated... It looks like there's an unencrypted local cache which is not flushed when your authentication expires or you log out. I wasn't able to reproduce it but I was sufficiently spooked to stop using it after that.

Is the grammarly ToS more than a CYA? I think they may do it that way to protect themselves from being sued after retaining your work. But I don't like the possibility of them owning your work.
