Seriously? *Another* Password Manager Screw-Up

Oh, joy. Click Studios, the people behind Passwordstate – you know, that thing some sysadmins inexplicably trust with all their keys – had to slap a patch on their Emergency Access page because of an authentication bypass. Apparently, if someone knew the right URL (like a fucking *direct link*), they could waltz right in without needing credentials. Brilliant. Just…brilliant.

They’re claiming it wasn’t actively exploited, which is what they always say. Right. Like hackers are just sitting around twiddling their thumbs waiting for vendors to announce vulnerabilities. It was a pretty simple flaw – lack of proper authentication checks on that emergency page. The fix? They added some checks. Groundbreaking stuff.

If you’re using Passwordstate (and honestly, why?), update NOW. Don’t be an idiot. And maybe consider if trusting a single piece of software with *everything* is the smartest move. Just saying. I swear, people and their password managers… it’s like they *want* to get breached.

Seriously, I deal with this shit all day. All. Day. It’s always something. Always a stupid mistake. Always someone crying when things go south.

  I once had to clean up a mess where someone used “password” as the master password for *everything*. Everything! Then they wondered why their entire network was compromised. I’m starting to think some people actively try to get hacked just so I have something to do.
