    Oh no who would have guessed that screenshoting and saving them unencrypted in an unprotected area in where confidential screenshots with passwords can be grabbed by any script kiddie.

      Even if we ignore the security issues (and we shouldn’t) why the hell would I want my computer taking screenshots, writing that to disk and running OCR on the image, writing results to a database and creating correlations EVERY FEW SECONDS! That’s a huge amount of bloat. I want my computer to be quick and responsive.

      It’s not like people deserve any sense of privacy, their passwords should be public knowledge.

      If you have done nothing wrong, you shouldn’t have anything to hide (said every authoritarian asshat ever)

      Correction: they are encrypted. Not well, but cut them some slack, it’s a small startup.

        No they arent. They are obfuscated at best. The images are just saved without .jpg extension, and slapping one behind is enough

          It’s encrypted, but at the same level as everything else the user has access to. So, if your computer is stolen and they can’t log in, they can’t access it.

          Basically, encrypted, just like any other user file.

      Please, give them some credit where it’s due and don’t be so hard on them. You’d have to be technically sound and computer experts to have that kind of foresight!
