My mom controlled our AOL account when I was about 13 and would come into my room to sign me in. So, I created an entirely fake AOL login flow in Visual Basic and had her sign me in once to capture the password. Old school phishing.

How exactly do you know what is sensitive?.
First, how it works: . Every time you open a new tab, Dia's memory automatically takes notes for you. It's like Granola for browser tabs. (These notes are encrypted & stored locally. We don’t take notes on sensitive pages like banking.) . Here’s how to turn it on in Dia:
