- StavrosK 14y agoAh, I hadn't considered that... That's a shame...
- icebraining 14y agoJust wanted to point out that any implementation as a browser extension (as opposed to bookmarklet) is safe from DOM manipulation; searching on Google for "supergenpass extension" returns results for at least Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
- StavrosK 14y agoI'm not so sure, the extension still appends DOM elements, I'm sure those are just as susceptible to sniffing...
- simonbrown 14y agoI haven't looked at the code or even used it that much, but it seems like it only uses content scripts to insert the password into the field, and everything else is dealt with by the popup/background page, which websites don't have access to.
