We need to offload that work to password managers, which offer secure vaults that can stand in for our memory.Ī password manager offers convenience and, more importantly, helps you create better passwords, which makes your online existence less vulnerable to password-based attacks. That might work for Memory Grand Master Ed Cooke, but most of us are not capable of such fantastic feats. (Make sure they are long, strong, and secure!) Just kidding. The safest (if craziest) way to store your passwords is to memorize them all. The problem is, most of us don’t know what makes a good password and aren’t able to remember hundreds of them anyway. For nearly a decade, that’s been “123456” and “password”-the two most commonly used passwords on the web. We know they’re good for us, but most of us are happier snacking on the password equivalent of junk food. Thank you.Password managers are the vegetables of the internet. I'm going to change my master password just in case, but any help would be appreciated. Is this a false warning? Is character.ai somehow gaining access to LastPass/my master password in some way? Or is it possible there's something more nefarious going on, such as a keylogger or similar malware on my machine (though that still doesn't explain it, as I have not entered my master password anywhere recently)? I did not enter it (or any string of text like it) in my conversations with the bot, I did not enter it in any account login on character.ai (I do not have an account on that website), and I did not enter my master password anywhere any time today, or recently for that matter. I know for a fact that I did not enter my master password on character.ai. Shortly after I got back to my PC, I received a warning notification from the LastPass Firefox extension. I then went to run errands for a couple hours and left my PC running (though it entered sleep mode after an hour). I played with it for a few minutes, exchanged a couple of sentences back and forth with the bot, then got bored and closed the website.

Hoping you can help make sense of this situation, as I'm unable to find anything similar to this online.Įarlier today I visited the site character.ai for the first time to test out a character a friend made.
