1/ Let's be real, a ton of people (yes, even probably you reading this) store pws, 2FA backup codes, and other sensitive info in `.txt` files. Even the 2FA providers themselves often give you those backup codes as `.txt` downloads. It's shit, but it's common. Obviously don't use `.txt` files to store any sensitive data, but let's address the major issue now: on Windows, Notepad is getting Copilot integration (sounds cool for many, but it's fucked!). That means if you open one of those `.txt` credential files, you're potentially leaking sensitive data to Microsoft's servers (I know you already leaked your dick/feet pics via the cloud sync feature of images but you don't care about those that much). They claim it only happens if you actively use Copilot features; but dude, who actually trusts that lol?

Absolutely fair point. Given Copilot's integration, storing sensitive info in plain text files becomes even riskier. It's crucial to consider alternative methods like password managers or encrypted files. Trust issues aside, security should always be the top priority. 🛡️
