Malicious website javascript can intercept password while typing #5

Description

@Munter

Currently RndPhrase only replaces passwords when pressing tab or enter, or when blurring the password field.

A phising site or a valid site with injected malicious third party javascript code can read the value of the password field or the keyboard events while typing.

Possible imrovements:

  • Use a master password across all tabs that you type in once, using this RndPhrase can autofill the password when typing '@' in a pasword field.
  • Have RndPhrase pop up a browser chrome window outside of the DOM sandbox when typing '@' in a password field. Put the encrypted password in the password field when done.

Both changes should of course be non-intrusive.
