That registry stuff is wild, half the time it's some random hidden setting that's been broken since a Windows update. Makes you wonder how many other "broken" printers are just one mysterious key away from working fine.

Honestly that hit close to home because I did the same thing with my old password manager back in 2021. I had this super long random vault password but never turned on two factor because I figured the encryption was enough, then my phone died on a trip and I tried to log in from a library computer, that’s when I noticed the login history showed some random IP from overseas. Turns out I’d reused that master password for a forum account years earlier and someone got it from a data breach, they just hadn’t done anything yet. I freaked out, changed everything, and now I treat the vault like the most important lock in the house, not the passwords inside it. If you haven’t already, change that master password to something totally random and put two factor on right now, because that alert is basically a free warning shot.
