With features like that, who needs keyloggers?

from here and here

I know it's not intentionally a keylogger, but there isn't much separating it from one. It does record keystrokes and it does output them without your knowledge or consent. The main difference is that it doesn't provide a way to get your keystrokes into a particular hacker's hands - although if it just starts spitting them out randomly it is entirely possible some of your sensitive keystrokes may find their way into some random hacker's hands. That would be very unlucky, but this is Friday the 13th.

I suppose the passwords may have a lot of repetition in them if you're travelling on a perfectly smooth surface, so find somewhere bumpy to run to add extra randomness to them.

Do you have the credentials to pull off this look?

I bet the password is in one of those pockets. No one remembers strong passwords, although maybe with this one it takes the form of some dance, like the Macarena or something.

If unsatisfied customers disappear, is there still a problem?

from here

Thanks to Naomi Wu for working so hard to raise awareness of what is clearly a serious issue, and shame on Signal for not doing more to educate users on the safety considerations of using their app.

In theory, secure messaging is meant to protect those who might otherwise be in danger if the contents of their messages were found out. If at-risk Signal users are getting disappeared under normal usage conditions then the question has to be asked whether Signal is fit for purpose.

Your face palm is your password

Let's see tech start-ups scrape that into their biometric databases.
