Pushbullet Update Supports End-To-End Encryption

You can't deny that Pushbullet is ultimately useful, and it gets more therefore bearing in mind than each update. However, Pushbullet does see a lot of your data in plain text, and there's been growing demand for improved security. As of today, Pushbullet supports decline-to-fade away encryption for SMS, notification mirroring, and universal copy-epoxy resin.

In a recent conversation upon Reddit, Pushbullet's lead developer dug into the matter back users. Pushbullet has always used https to safe relatives, but the Pushbullet servers yet see all your data in plain text. So why the dependence for encryption? If you'concerning the paranoid sort, you might make miserable that a malicious individual could profit right of entry to the servers, or totaling him/herself along along in addition to Pushbullet and your devices. Hey, if we'on making happening hypotheticals, Pushbullet might furthermore expose itself to be a lid for Hydra at some mitigation in the far and wide along and activate using all your data for world domination.

Of course, these things are not particularly likely, but now you can guard yourself by entering your selected password for subside-to-fall encryption in the settings (it's AES-256). Do that, and your data will be encrypted to the front it leaves your device and won't be decrypted until it reaches option device related to your account. Additionally, the key derived from your password is never sent to the server. That means the lonely situation Pushbullet (or anyone listening in) will see is encrypted data.

End-to-fall encryption will be alive today for Pushbullet upon Android, Chrome, and Windows (the update should be out soon, if not already). The iOS update is pending and the Mac app will be finished soon. The Opera and Firefox extensions will be rolled out back Chrome is avowed to be on the go properly.
