"Thanks to a flaw in a decade-old version of the RoboForm password manager"
Yes, cheers for that.
I mean, they say it was fixed shortly after he made his password. It was a flaw until 2015
Password generator used the date/time to create the password. It was fixed a long time ago.
A $3 Million Crypto Wallet... A $2 Million Crypto Wallet... A $5.5 Million Crypto Wallet...
(This joke probably doesn't work anymore, but I still think it's funny.)
I tried to tell them it was: "Password123".
They scoffed at me and never tried it.
Pay wall 🖕
Whenever I hit paywalled articles, I have Gemini summarize it for me. Here's what I got:
This is an article about a flaw in a password manager. It discusses a man named Michael who lost access to his bitcoin wallet. The password manager he used generated a weak password. Researchers were able to crack the password because of this weakness. They used the date and time the password was created to guess it. Michael was able to recover his bitcoin wallet.
