While this might be a useful tool for Mac users, it's all hackers here, so:

* Most people do not have passwords in plain text — an SSH key protected with a passphrase is not "plain text", for instance

* Most people have encrypted home or full disk encryption

* How can we trust your crypto implementation?

* If we are talking about in-memory plain-text during use, how does this tool protect against it?

* Containerisation is a big topic when running untrusted software for exactly (but not just) this reason

* While passwords/tokens might carry a big risk depending on what you do, I find that I worry more about my local data compared to my remote data — and virtualisation or containerisation helps with that.
