Wait Hol'Up...."Keystroke Patterns"...??? Does that mean it is harvesting my password manager master password???
Everyone freaking out every time they realize every fucking 'type ahead' or "predictive text" system is essentially a Keylogger. Android and Iphone keyboards, the chrome browser, etc are keylogging all your shit already, and any javascript typeahead predictive engine that has to ask a service "what comes next" has to by it's nature have the things that you're typing to predict the next thing.
Predictive text isn't something I normally see in password fields.
you'd think it'd get disabled for all the things, but yeah....
If you had one or two of their plugins/options enabled in chrome it was smart enough to detect when you typed your google password outside of google and send you to change it.
Password manager feature maybe?
Well, I do use a password manager, so maybe that's it.
