To me it looks like the ideal way to wiretap a user.
If someone inside the company or, other official agency wants to, they can log in without using a password, and they are handed all conversations as they happen. Obviously they must use a slightly modified client, or a backdoor authentication, but no way to disprove that this doesn't exist.
