    No thanks, sounds like security and privacy nightmare.

    The part about “no user interaction required” doesnt feel right secure.

    Especially as it is stored at google servers, it says it is encrypted but it is encrypred using keys that google has access to as they are unlocked with you logging in into google account.

      It’s only stored with Google if cloud backup is enabled it says. Otherwise, the keys are transferred along with all the other data directly from device to device when switching.
