Extension Details
Context-Aware Verdict
The extension has a very small user base of only 12 users, which raises concerns about its legitimacy and testing. While it maintains a high rating of 4.7, this is based on an extremely limited sample size that may not be representative. The developer provides a website (myownpassphrase.com) which adds some credibility, but the lack of detailed developer information and the minimal user adoption suggest this is either a very new or niche extension.
The primary concern is the extremely low adoption rate of just 12 users for a passphrase-related extension. Security tools typically gain more widespread adoption if they're trustworthy and effective. The missing technical details in the analysis (no specific permissions, scripts, or security findings listed) make it difficult to assess the extension's actual functionality and potential security implications. Passphrase management extensions typically require sensitive permissions to function properly, so the lack of visible permissions data is concerning.
Given the security-sensitive nature of passphrase management and the minimal user base, consider running this extension in a separate Chrome profile to isolate any potential risks. Before installation, verify the developer's website and reputation independently. Consider using more established passphrase management solutions with larger user bases and proven track records. If you do proceed, monitor the extension's behavior carefully and avoid using it for critical accounts initially.
