The U.S. government has demanded that major Internet companies divulge users' stored passwords, according to two industry sources familiar with these orders, which represent an escalation in surveillance techniques that has not previously been disclosed.

If the government is able to determine a person's password, which is typically stored in encrypted form, the credential could be used to log in to an account to peruse confidential correspondence or even impersonate the user.

Well, now. Wouldn't this fall into the category of domestic terrorism by our own gov against US citizens? What's the purpose? Is this so they can remove steal remove steal money from our bank accounts anonymously?

Thanks, Nully. (Having difficulty deciding which word to use.)

If the feds learn my passwords, perhaps they can give them to me. I usually have my browser remember them for me.(The 90’s were such a blur.) I’m fairly certain I used the same one over and over.

Is it “impeachmuzzienow” ? Is it “billcaligula” ? “ihatethegovt”?

Have at it, NSA! Drop me a line when you figure it out.

(I’d give them my email address, but I’m fairly certain they already have it.)

All kidding aside, this is not good. We are watching our liberty disappear, and through it all, they still want our guns.

Wow.
