I wondered the same. Then I realized it sends out requests to googleapis, segment, and sentry. Imagine having data on every dev's terminal workflow? Ca$h.

  Sounds more like a good way to get your product banned from a lot of workplaces.

    A lot of workplaces don't even bother to ban grammarly, which is literally a keylogger*, this won't even be on their radar. * I feel compelled to point out that Grammarly disagree with this definition because it doesn't send every single keystroke, just the ones in non-password text boxes.

      Is grammarly not correct here?

        If my plugin Passwordly, only sends the keystrokes inside password boxes, is or isn't that a key logger? It's only capturing a subset of your input, like Grammarly, so not a keylogger? If the argument is, it's not a keylogger because it's not logging sensitive information, well I type plenty of sensitive information into non-password textboxes.

          I’d say passwordly also isn’t a key logger. By your definition every text editor would be a key logger. That may be the strict definition of a key logger but the commonly accepted meaning is different. A keylogger logs all keys regardless of the app being used or general use case. Often they are malicious as well but that doesn’t have to be the case.
