The worry that said app would find some way to exfiltrate what the user types, perhaps? What with passwords being typed with keyboards and all that.
- jeroenhd 4y agoBoth platforms have supported custom keyboards for years. I much prefer SwiftKey over the native Android keyboard (with network access disabled, because Microsoft). Sure, password stealing is a potential problem, but you accept that risk the second you decide to download a soft keyboard.
