@pcaversaccio: Windows Notepad's Copilot integration risks leaking credentials
AI summary of the linked articlepcaversaccio warns that Windows Notepad's Copilot integration risks leaking sensitive data from plaintext files, because opening a .txt file could send its contents to Microsoft's servers. Microsoft claims this happens only when Copilot features are actively used, a claim pcaversaccio says users shouldn't trust. Many people store passwords and 2FA backup codes in .txt files, which 2FA providers themselves often offer as downloads. pcaversaccio recommends disabling the feature or Copilot system-wide, and using an app such as Notepad++, which is described as local and not phoning home. |
