Can AI Profile Our Personalities to Guess Passwords? The @cprkrn 5 BTC Recovery

[Dogedegen]

What if human made passwords based on memories are no longer secure due to AI? Can these AI tools profile us? Can they find words that we could have used to secure our wallets?

First of this is not a case of passwords based on memories, this is a case of passwords that are based on generic words that are popular. If I was a big fan of the Dodgers, and my password was something like dodgersarethebest22 that is not a memory based password. It is one of the most common types of passwords and frequently used because it is insecure. Anyway, this type of password was not secure since a very long time ago it has nothing to do with AI. The most probable thing that happened here is that he has not tried the right patterns from his past and that is all.

Passwords should never be:

• Self generated besides maybe your master password and even that one must be quite strong and avoid common errors.
• Based on your personality.
• Based on your memories or anything related to you.

Passwords should be generated by a secure password manager, and have a length of 20 to 30 characters or more and include all possible characters. With this passwords are secure against any kind of cracking attempts, AI has no chance against them. This is actually a topic that has been solved for a while now, it only comes up because many humans are not using these tools.

I mean.  I am sorry.  But if I had 100 notes in the note book of a stranger and half of them had texts about police and 420 then these would have been the first key words and digits in a brute force attempt.  I do not know.  Claude may have done some interesting things but this is not one of them for me.

You get it here correctly. None of my passwords could ever be cracked this way, they are all generated by a password manager.

That raises the importance of using password generators, password manager softwares for creating strong passwords to use.

That's good, but for some people, it may present problems related to password storage. That is why many people tend to use the same password for many applications and devices. The reason is to make it easy to remember. 
We might write it down and store it somewhere, then we might also forget the place. 
There are also difficulties when trying to access it. Things like that make people think about being more practical. They might understand the risks, or they might not understand them.

There are no issues relating to password storage, people making up issues because they don't know any better does not mean there is an issue. Password storage has long been solved, there are password managers that handle passwords and there are even more advanced concepts or offline gadgets. Simple users only need to write down 1 password at most which would be their master password, but you can also back up or print all of them out if you want and not rely on software. The real issue is a lack of education, knowledge, and care about security.

Most people that are using these devices do not know what they are doing, it is like if you decide to drive your car during rush hour while missing 2 out of 4 tires... and then you blame cars for being difficult as if that was the problem!

Then I decided to limit its access for my mobile phone so that it can not be able to collect further data from my mobile phone, anything so personal about me. We have to pay our best attention in making secure ourselves from AI. No doubt it has many pros, but now I suspect its cons are overcoming its pros, and in the coming time, it can be a headache for us in many ways. So, we need to be attentive regarding this matter before it's too late. What do you think about it?

Maybe the device you are using and the Google services on that device are the issue. If it is Android, then maybe Google services are the main problem because you must have given them all the permissions. These days Android devices have integrated third-party AI tools too, not just Google's, and they can be found in our keyboards or while editing images if we have enabled them.

New smartphones come with these AI tools, and in my opinion trusting third-party tools is a bigger threat than using Google's AI. If the AI you are using is Google's, then my theory is valid. Otherwise, you must have used some AI tool and knowingly given your information to it, even if you don't remember it now.

This was also my first thought. AI hasn't yet developed the ability to read a person's personality enough to guess a passphrase without any clues to narrow down the number of brute-force attempts. In this case, "lol" might be the AI's basic idea that the passphrase is related to a joke, insult, or disparaging attitude toward something, and then "police" is the keyword.

There are levels to what information we should feed to these AI tools no matter what we are training them to help us do since that information is also stored in their database, and it might be shared among other research. This experiment has helped the person on the story recover his password, but it could also be used for some ill purpose. Privacy should be taken seriously even when we don't see the AI as any threat; if hackers break into it, a lot will be at risk.

[BALIK]

I think this is the reason for holding on to privacy, which many think no longer exists, but we are still the ones who decide what personal information we share. However, the best passwords are always those automatically generated as random alphanumeric strings, as a password manager system like bitwarden or even just firefox can do

I consider a good password manager like Bitwarden to be the real gold standard of the digital world. If someone creates a password by combining their memory or birthdate or any familiar pattern they are not really that secured. Password created with Bitwarden are a thousand time more secure than these. Even hacker or their whole froup cannot easily crack these.

What I understand after knowing all that is AI scans our devices all the time and keeps updating its database with our actions and doing and making itself more intelligent.

AI tool like Claude can only analyze the data or file that we provide to them, nothing more. And I do not think they are scanning our entire device in realtime like thieves without our permission. The point is that we should not upload your private thing like email or personal note or chat history to AI model by ourself. It is natural that doing so will cause problems. Keep in mind that the real danger is not AI itself. Everything has its good and bad qualities

Does this mean it's time for us to start fooling AI by deliberately creating a fake story about our lives? I'm somewhat surprised that AI knows more about you than you do, although I can imagine how much information all these trackers collect about us, because we sometimes use our gadgets to correspond on any topics that can also be tracked. Today's Internet requires people to have a "split personality" so that we are alone offline and completely different for all AI watching us online.🫣🤐

My case is the best reflection of this, and we have no other option left, which is why it is better to keep our personal information safe from AI. That is why I think you are saying correctly. We should talk to AI in such a way that our query does not belong to us, and we are asking the question about someone else.

You know what makes me more surprised? When AI told me about some contacts that I have in my mobile phone.
Believe me, AI is not safe, and our data is revealing without leaving any clues. So, we have to limit the use of AI. And for now, the best we can do for our safety is that we can change the AI setting from the mobile settings or Google settings to limit its access to our device to collect any single piece of information. What do you say?

Any android phones default your setting to use their AI and possibly collect your data these days it seems. What's better tool for profiling than your own phone, something that is considered private by government and not even police can freely confiscate your phone and see inside without a warrant.

The answer is to use passkey that is device bound and stored within your hardware's secure enclave or use the most random password ever.

After searching the Internet after you told your story, I wondered how to limit surveillance from the all-seeing eye of Google. And I liked the decision to try to completely limit Google in my phone, thereby reducing the ability to train AI models, at least on my texts and photos. The first thing to do is to prohibit sending our data to the cloud and switch to open-source software such as the Android Open Source Project (which is something I'll be trying to do soon).

Really good to see you are making sure to keep yourself safe from AI scanning your data.
What kind of open source project are you considering using at that moment? As far as I know, open source software can also be risky because it may contain loopholes that can bring viruses and phishing attacks to your device. CMIIW! But if it's something that is safe and I don't know, then I would love to know about it from you.

I don't use ChatGPT too much, and not Claud AI. But in some cases, whenever I need quick information, I ask Gemini, but in rare cases. Some days ago, I shared an SS in which Gemini also knows who is snowpega. It shares my recent activity on BTT, like I ran the Bitcoin node challenge, it tells the registration date of my account, my ALTT account, and my BPIP profile link. That blows my mind....
Check this...

So far, in short, AI is far more dangerous than one can think.
It is making itself more and more intelligent by collecting users' data connected to the internet.
It is making its database stronger day by day.
