Better Privacy

I’m going to tell you how I typically get other people’s passwords—so you can protect yourself better.

I get passwords by looking over shoulders or watching Xbox sign-in screens. On computers, I check browser profiles for saved passwords.

If I see someone unlock their iPhone, I can use the built-in Passwords app to view and copy their saved logins. On Chrome or Edge, it’s easy to export saved passwords to a USB drive for later.

If they have 2FA, I’ll try to set up a passkey on their device while I have access—but most people don’t even have 2FA enabled. Sometimes, just asking “Can I use your computer?” is enough to get into their accounts.

Once I have one account, I’ll check the export for other linked accounts to “bridge” and access even more.

None of these methods require fancy hacking scripts. The #1 flaw in any system is always the user.

How Do You Avoid This?

• ✅ Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA / 2FA) so logins require a code from your phone or app.
• ✅ Review your logged-in devices regularly—if you see anything suspicious, sign out and change your password.
• ✅ Check HaveIBeenPwned.com to see if your credentials were in any data breach.

Tips for Better Privacy

• ✅ Don’t let people you don’t trust use your computer or phone.
• ✅ Don’t save passwords in your browser without a master password.
• ✅ Use a password manager that encrypts your vault.
• ✅ Set up strong, unique passwords for every service.
• ✅ Regularly review and update your security settings on accounts.
• ✅ Cover your screen when entering passwords in public.
