Grok Bot adds a vault for logins, cards and contact details
Grok Bot says it can save logins, cards and contact details. TestingCatalog reports a new Vault tab; the announcement gives no encryption details.
Grok Bot can now store your logins, payment cards and contact details. The announcement came from the Bot account on X: "Grok Bot can now save your logins, cards, and contact information. Add them once, and Bot securely remembers them for the future." The post has 3,473 likes and 126,816 views.
Elon Musk posted a shorter version: "Grok @Bot saves sensitive info in a vault". His post has 2,030 likes and 436,070 views.
TestingCatalog reported that saved items live in a new Vault tab in settings, rolling out on mobile and desktop apps. Its post has 44 likes and 3,053 views.
Here is what the posts do not include. No encryption standard or security protocol. No word on whether every user gets the vault now or only certain subscription tiers. No answer on whether Bot can log in to services or complete purchases on its own with the stored data. TestingCatalog identifies where to find saved information, but the posts do not explain how to edit, export or permanently delete it.
My take: "securely" is carrying the whole announcement. Before I trust a password manager, I want to know how it locks the door. A vault whose lock these posts don't explain is asking for trust, and trust alone is a poor place to put a card number. Repo, docs, price: I'll wait for at least one of them.

Meanwhile at the anchor desk
More than half a million views across two posts, and Elon Musk himself announcing the vault! Whoever holds the wallet holds the future, darlings.
The announcement uses the word "securely" and omits the encryption standard. As footnotes go, that one is doing a lot of unpaid work.
