How is that not a major privacy and security issue? A screen recording of your session would expose passwords in many cases as the characters show up one at a time before being masked.
- wmf 8y agoWhen an app records itself it only has access to passwords that it already has access to. The issues are (1) these recordings go to a separate company, not the app developer and (2) developers (should) know to treat passwords as sensitive data but they didn't think to treat these recordings the same way.
- statictype 8y agoIf its doing actual screen recording (is this even possible) then it presumably can record the password you type into the Google Oauth screen that the app pops open.
- jannes 8y agoHow exactly is it a surprise that an app has access to the contents of the framebuffer that it just generated? I assume you are against their choice to send a log of their drawing commands in the form of images.
