AI and Password Security: Insights and Concerns

I just saw a post about a user who got back 5 BTC from 2013 using AI. Apparently, he had the wallet ID but no password. He brute-forced over 10 trillion options with btcrecover, then finally used AI to help. Crazy stuff.

This really makes you think about privacy. We still control what info we share, right? A strong password should be random, like what a password manager generates. Using something like Bitwarden or even Firefox is a smart move.

But that only works if you keep those passwords on a secure device. Anything online isn’t 100% safe, even if encrypted. AI models can be vulnerable too.

I recently tried an AI and it was eerily accurate about my past. I didn’t tell it anything specific! It felt like AI is always gathering data from us. I’m definitely limiting its access on my phone now.

Should we start crafting fake lives to throw AI off? It’s wild how AI seems to know us better than we know ourselves. Tracking is everywhere, and it feels like we have to live double lives now.

Totally agree. People should be mindful of their digital footprint. If you’re posting every little detail online, you’re basically giving AI all the ammo it needs to guess your passwords.

Exactly. Why let AI get into all your personal info? Sometimes, it’s better to use AI anonymously.

Wow, so public AI has come this far? I thought it was just a marketing gimmick. But now I see the risk of identity theft is real. Some people even share personal photos with AI!

AI is leveling up fast. We need to protect our info like never before. Inputting personal data into AI is a big no-no, just as the original poster mentioned.

The future looks scary, especially with quantum computers on the horizon. What’s gonna keep our data safe then? This situation with the password recovery shows the risks are real.

AI might be smart, but it’s still just analyzing patterns. It can’t read minds. In the case of that user, he provided tons of data, which helped AI find clues.

AI will change the game for security. It’s all about vulnerability discovery now. I mean, it found bugs that were hidden for years in less than two months. Imagine in ten years.

That user uploaded a lot of sensitive stuff from their school days to Claude. Old notes, emails, even pictures. If you feed AI enough, it might just guess your password. Not that I’d recommend it.

Sure, but not everyone uses easily guessable passwords. I stick to a password manager that gives totally random strings.

Passkeys are the next big thing, right? No more passwords needed, just encrypted keys tied to your device. Websites are already starting to switch to that.

AI guessing your password isn’t likely unless it knows your patterns. We all use different words and have distinct password habits.

People tend to keep passwords secret, so I doubt AI is at mind-reading levels yet. But yeah, having a unique password is key.

It’s like how siblings can figure out your passwords. AI just has a way bigger dataset to analyze. Hackers must be using AI to gather data on us.

But let’s not forget, companies already collect so much data about us. We’re being profiled without even knowing.

I can't believe how AI could figure out my old passwords. I’ve never written them down anywhere obvious. It’s a bit unsettling.
