This article is discussing an issue that was patched in April 2023 and does not affect current versions of Bitwarden.
(...) this issue was only a threat when using Windows Hello with the desktop application on a device that was already compromised to a level that allowed access to Windows Credential Manager on your Windows account (basically, you have malware on your device). Classifying the storage as plaintext is a little misleading, in my opinion. The key was stored in Windows Credential Manager, which can access the plaintext value from within the scope of the Windows account. It's not on disk in plaintext. Latest versions of the Windows desktop application resolve the issue (starting with the April 2023 release, version 2023.4.0).
Time waits for no one.
Bought myself and my wife some merch to wear out in the wilderness 😹

Well, there's always money laundering!
(Sorry, I'll show myself out...)
So basically Twitter is trying to become the equivalent of China's WeChat. A piece of centralized spyware with your "whole financial life" consolidated into one application. Hard pass. The difference between WeChat and X will be customer service—X won't have any; and the difference between X and banks will be consumer protections—X won't have any; and the difference between X and a CBDC would be both. The backend of each abusive iteration will carry minimal differences, and all feed into Ai models that inform the logic gates, and subject civil liberties to scaphism. The X platform is still bleeding users (thankfully) as Apptopia data shows and the BusinessInsider report detailed. I left X earlier this year after Musk's censorship in foreign elections—really the final straw for myself—the Turkish election being the most egregious. Musk has morphed into another toxic fiat creation. Would be nice to see bitcoiners get off this douchebag's dick, but too many are cult of personality addicts smoking an NgU pipe. Money and genius are indistinguishable mutually exclusive things to these people. Anyway, Stacker.News birthed the better more viable model directionally. Let the social tech and tradfi industry (most of which struggles to survive without 0% rates) fight one another for fiat rail supremacy. Let them box themselves in with walls too. No need for a FOSS petard in this case, just let them starve. Rant over.
