When do you have a password in plain sight? On the other hand, a key logger that extracts the passphrase for my password manager and steals the database file of it would be a disaster. I’d rather have an attacker browse through years of screenshots.

- hypeatei 2y agoRecall is just a massive trove of data and there is no single way it can be abused. For example, key loggers are extremely noisy (bunch of keystrokes being dumped into a log) and an attacker could use the data to see when the last time the user logged into their password manager was to narrow down the search.

- metalspoon 2y agoOh, why care about key loggers. They are rare. On the other hand, a serially killer in my house would kill me literally!
