That doesn't mean anything, I ran into a bug after 2004 that meant DPAPI protected secrets would be randomly corrupted. It was an incredibly frustrating bug that cost me a bunch of data.
After a few months without progress, I ended up debugging the problem myself and mailing them an analysis.
It's still not fixed, and not on that known issues page. I wrote a twitter thread about it here:

There is an office kb article about it, because it turned out it also broke Outlook.

- Roritharr 6y agoI really enjoy reading abour your findings, thanks for sharing! I would love to see a how-to for the way you debug these things with IDA, as otherwise I consider myself good at debugging, but have never even tried to peak under the hood of Windows.
