In-depth safety analysis
This extension is a password manager, so its broad permission requests are typical for the category. The ability to read and change data on all websites (), along with access to browsing history, tabs, cookies, and web requests, allows it to fill in login credentials, capture new passwords, and monitor account forms wherever you browse. For a password manager, this level of access is necessary to function, but it also means the extension can technically see all information you enter online, making the trustworthiness of the publisher critical.
As with any password manager, a careful user should treat the master password and any separate two-factor authentication with extreme care. Password manager extensions are a prime target for attackers because they hold the keys to all your accounts. Be very cautious about installing look-alike or clone extensions that may imitate popular brands, and always ensure you are installing the official version from a verified publisher.
Looking at the safety dimensions for this extension, the strongest area is Maintenance & Ownership, indicating the extension is actively maintained and the ownership is clear. The weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity, which suggests there may be some uncertainty or limited transparency about the exact business entity behind the extension on the store, despite the publisher being listed as Avira. This is a factor to weigh when using any tool with such high-privilege access.

- Publisher Avira
Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
