Windows 10 Bundles a Password Manager. Password Manager Bundles a Security Flaw

So it really has nothing to do with Windows 10 development or
security. It was a third party plugin developed by a Linux
company. Got it.

A Windows 10 image came bundled with a third-party password
manager, Keeper, which came with a glaring browser plugin flaw --
a malicious website could steal passwords. Ormandy's copy was
an MSDN image meant for developers, but Reddit users noted that
they received the vulnerable copy of Keeper after clean
reinstalls of regular copies and even a brand new laptop.

A Microsoft spokesperson told Ars Technica that the Keeper team
had patched the exploit (in response to Ormandy's private
disclosure), so it shouldn't be an issue if your software is up
to date. Also, you were only exposed if you enabled the plugin.

Keeper was developed by the linux community for Linux, Windows,
Mac and Android.
