Meh I think the time has more to do than the weed, I'm a lifetime smoker and I wouldn't forget the password to hundreds of thousands of dollars that's just stupid.

Seems pretty dicey to let an AI anywhere near your wallet.dat

Rather than simply guessing the password, Claude helped dig through the old files and identify an older wallet.dat file that appeared to predate the password change. The user also reportedly had an old mnemonic phrase, which helped unlock the wallet once the correct file was found.

The password, as later revealed in the post, was: “lol420fuckthePOLICE!*:)”

The man was well ahead of his time.

What a password. I’d love to see his xbox live username.

That guy said he fucked my mom.

[–] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I don't think he meant to call your mum a pig

An absolute menace in the Call of Duty lobby voicechat.

I have only one question: did recovering the password involve getting high and then using Claude Code?

"*******" is a weird password. Aren't there supposed to be letters and numbers ?

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Lemmy hides it for us. It's pretty sweet.

[–] elvith@feddit.org 10 points 6 hours ago

I absolutely love that feature. Imagine you accidentally type or paste your ******** into a comment. Now everyone can see your ********! What a banger. But not on Lemmy! It gets masked automatically so that none can see and guess you ********!

[–] RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

All I see is "lol420fuckthePOLICE" does Lemmy automatically hide passwords or something?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, all I see is stars while you see "lolFuckthePOLICE".

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Yeah it has this super innovative feature that looks up passwords and hides them for you. Like, my email password is "trumphasamushroompenis" and it hides it. Cool right?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

This is why I write all of my passwords on Post-Its that I stick to my monitor.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I just use Aassword.1, Bassword.1, ...

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

Fascinating.
