Access to browser data as described in the reported scenario would require the device to already be compromised.
Yes you can open our safe with just a good yank but if a thief can do that they’re already in your house.
If the thief is already in your house, he can also eat your meal and steal your furniture.
does this company intentionally want users to stop using it? cuz day by day either theres a new windows bug or just shittier softwares
Not to worry, the next update will fix it. (And make 12 others things worse. Also it will make your printer stop working. Again.)
The AI tells them this is fine, and we are not to question the AI.
I think it’s more than they just don’t care. Microsoft cornered the business world decades ago because they’ve got wot C-levels crave…or something. End users have no say in it.
HOLY @#%^ WHAT IN THE @#%^ DO THEY MEAN “NOT TO WORRY”???
They mean that it won’t affect them.
Well, hold on now, maybe Microsoft has a reasonable explanation for how they actually do secure their passwords…
This is an expected feature of the application.
… Never mind.
Design choices in this area involve balancing performance, usability, and security
Nothing to do with usability since decrypting your passwords one by one is perfectly fine. So they are saying this is about performance ? Holy fuck…
They’re just doing what Copilot told them to!
Microsoft SSH agent persistently stores your unencrypted private keys in the registry. They’re still there unlocked and usable after you reboot.
God, the final comment in that thread makes my blood boil.
That is infuriating. Leaving those keys available to the user means that worms can later use you to compromise additional machines. It turns a local problem into a much bigger one. There’s a recursive script out there that automatically scans your ssh files and attempts to access all hosts in your history…name escapes me at the moment.
Right there in the name, it says Secure She’ll Hades
Wow, that’s bad.
Yeah, that’s what she said…
And this is why you don’t give microslop anything
Our lives are in the hands of morons. What the fuck.
Our lives are in the hands of product managers driving programming decisions.
Oh, sorry. I just realized I repeated what you said.
Theres an AI for that.
What is even the point of the DPAPI?
DPAPI no black, he’s Dominican.
If you consider Haitians black, so are Dominicans.
Source: am Dominican.
Moms insists on pen an paper! Omg!
Microsoft - So secure we ROT13 encode everything… TWICE!
Ah yes, the good old ROT26 encryption. Some say its unbreakable
If you don’t have anything to hide, what’s the worry?
arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say. –edward snowden
also in this case the thing ur hiding is ur freaking passwords
It’s the height of narcissism to believe that everyone wants to get your passwords.
I am not worried, cause I’m not dumb enough to use Edge or Windows for that matter.
They say not to worry because they know nobody uses that dumpster fire of a browser so there’s no actual risk of your passwords being leaked since you’re not using it anyways.
Hey. Hey. I got some PS scripts
Corporate has entered the chat.
Unless you’re like me and the websites you use for work require it and don’t work in literally any other browser (I have tried everything)
