Just being super paranoid.

ecto commented 9 years ago

definitely a concern with third party keyboards

daviddahl commented 9 years ago

Do you have any references for Neto read on this, I was thinking we might turn off spell check as a worst case scenario😑

ecto commented 9 years ago

very googlable, but i think after searching for 5 minutes there isn't much you could do about it other than

<input autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" spellcheck="false" />

if the user installs a keylogging keyboard you can't do anything about it if first party keyboards are sending keystrokes we're all doomed anyway ¯(ツ)/¯

On iOS, third party keyboards leak like crazy. But you can do things to prevent this See this link from Apple's docs for more info
