Its particularly easy to miss info leaks when you manipulate fields which have some kind of autofill or live search functionality.
You start up something by typing into the start menu, but between pressing the first and second letters for some frames unintended documents could flash up.
You need to try typing the alphabet one by one into these fields to see whether anything sensitive comes up.
Edit: nice recommendations on your part!
- Fnoord 5y agoYeah, autocomplete can screw things up. It can do so in a browser when you show a friend (or co-employee or your child) something as well. It is something to keep in mind. If you use a VM or burner device the chance of such happening is negligible. You can also use a second account which has less rights than your main account. A feature which Google's Android conveniently has (guest mode).
- dceddia 5y agoAutocomplete is super annoying for this. I ended up setting up a separate Chrome profile for screencasting, but you can also use Guest mode. Either way will give you a separate history, no autocomplete, and no extensions cluttering up the menu bar.
