“Yeah totally secure! Just trust me!..” basically
This is LITERALLY isn’t secure; they should atleast make it encrypted. This is just the same as using your notes app as password manager! But it’s microsoft, and they’re willingly giving your bitlocker encryption key to the FBIs for your drives. So I’m not surprised…
How will the NSA spy on you if Microsoft doesn’t hand them your passwords?
That’s the added trust and security they always boast about
trust is multiplicative, not additive
M365 chat also fetches a copy of whatever secured file links you send to each other. Goes without saying, but never use Microsoft products if you value security.
… They are so bad
I haven’t used a Microsoft browser or operating syatem in almost 25 years.
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.
Right there in the name, it says Secure She’ll Hades
How can a company manage to be so bafflingly incompetent and why are there people out there still standing for it.
don’t worry bb
2026 is gonna be the year I finally move to Linux. I have huge concerns about many aspects of switching, but they’re being overtaken by concerns about staying with Windows. I don’t even mind if my overall user experience is a bit worse on Linux (I am trying to have reasonable expectations that it won’t be the walk in the park Linux advocates on Lemmy like to claim), I just have much more faith in its security, privacy, customisability and - most importantly - the motivations and intentions of its developers.
Best of luck! If you’ve got questions or problems feel free to DM me (or reply here) and I’ll try to help as best I can. I’ve been using linux since the mid 90s, so I have a decent idea of how it all works :)
Nothing in this timeline surprises me any more.
does this company intentionally want users to stop using it? cuz day by day either theres a new windows bug or just shittier softwares
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.
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.
we will take your data but don’t worry be happy 😁 🇯🇲 we will not use it. Because we are smoking ganja and smiling to each other in our office. We are so happy; Thanks to AI. Peace ☮️✌️😁🕶️

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.
