Having had a little password difficulty on my wife's tablet this evening... this @tomgauld.bsky.social cartoon came to mind.... sometimes, trying to recall your password under pressure is just counterproductive! #computers #SocialMedia #passwords

Don’t Trust Password Managers? HIPPO May Be The Answer! https://hackaday.com/2026/04/15/dont-trust-password-managers-hippo-may-be-the-answer/ #SecurityHacks #Browserextension #Cryptography #Passwords

So I have a habit of running the latest versions of #ChromeCanary and #FirefoxNightly just because I don't want to fall behind on #SecurityUpdates, to test for #compatibility and other issues and to sstay ahead of any #vulnerabilities in my #browser because I store a lot of #passwords locally in my profiles among other information that I don't #sync online. Well, lately, every time the browser updates, I keep having to #SignIn to different services like #ChatGPT #Google for #GMail and #Microsoft #Outlook etc. Nothing changed in my #configuration and I didn't install any #extensions that I know of which would do this. Ever since #Windows #11 version #29550 came out, this has been a frequent occurrence. Coincidence?
