- blackbeard 11y agoThey do by default: http://i.imgur.com/NSQs5Ux.png http://i.imgur.com/NSQs5Ux.png
- Oletros 11y agoThis setting has nothing to do with the question the OP did
- mryan 11y agoIf passwords are synced between devices, they are presumably being stored on MS servers.
- Someone1234 11y agoThat's not what they were asking. They were asking about if TYPED passwords are sent (meaning keylogger style). You're talking about password manager syncing. To just give one example, if typed passwords are sent them passwords typed into Chrome are sent, if only the password manager is synced then that only impacts IE or Edge users.

- yk 11y agoThis sounds like the reasonable interpretation is, they are reading the passwords for MS accounts like hotmail. But IANAL, perhaps one should use the most hostile interpretation possible.
- antsar 11y agoWhen reading a privacy policy from a company like Microsoft, I think assuming the "most hostile interpretation possible" is a safe bet. If it was only for MS accounts, why wouldn't they say so?
