Any decent password manager with a "copy to clipboard" option should be using the Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer namespace to ensure that the password doesn't get added to the clipboard history, and doesn't synchronize with other computers logged in under your account.
It's a bit of a pain to use from a non-store app, but it's not too bad:

I remember when Win 10 was out, this came up somewhere on this forum, I believe.
And I learned to disable that feature...

Is there a way to set up a filter to send all CP posts having 'wordle' in the subject line to the thrash bin?

I don't think so, but you can always ask for it in the B&S. It could be interesting to have such a filter, but I am not sure if it would be a nightmare for the hamsters.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yep there is one. If you see 'wordle' skip it

Ah. "Intelligent filtering"!

I was looking for something similar to run Linux, what is it about it you don't like?

Thanks, good to know.

We've had good luck with these in an industrial environment. They're sealed and the bodies are heatsinks to disperse the heat.

We also used to use Quanmax computers. Looks like they've been purchased by Kontron so I can't speak to how well they are now. But it looks like they have similar offerings.

Years before Azure, MS offered a web backup service. One Norwegian guy was informed by MS that unless he within 48 hours removed that photo of him changing the diapers of his 4 hours (!) old daughter, his account would be closed down. MS considered a picture of a 4 hours year old baby on a changing table to be 'child porn'. The photo was stored in a folder requiring a password for access.
This case is one (of several) that has led me to the conclusion: Never ever use a web service for backup! Maybe you agree with the conclusion from MS, that a photo of diaper changing is child porn. I consider it an even bigger problem that MS discovered the photo, and note: without being told the password.
So: If you let MS (or any other web based file service) store your files - photos or otherwise: Encrypt the files before leaving it to the storage service. Encrypt them yourself. If MS, or anyone else, says 'We will encrypt the files for you', then you give the service provider full access to all your private data. I am not willing to do that.

Would be better not to use online storage at all.
Get a NAS or a file server or removable disk just not online.

Amen.
The problem is getting it off-site. If you have a workplace in a different risk zone (with respect to e.g. landslides, earthquakes and fires), you may bring daily incremental backups to that site, as long as your employer does not object to you having a private backup disk located at your workplace.
Some work places are in the same risk zone, not much different from having a home office. Some workplaces won't allow you to use workplace resources for private purposes, not even if you use your own, external backup disk.
But the major obstacle is that very few backup systems are suited for you every morning bringing your incremental updates to work on a memory stick for backup saving on the backup disk at your workplace.

I hope you're not under the impression Azure is just file storage.
|
|
|
|

Certainly not. But if they even can't leave my private, password protected files alone, can I then trust them to leave alone any other information I put into Azure?
I will trust them (and all the others) just as much with my private photos as with my business information. That is: Not at all.

I'd call you paranoid, but only as a joke. Even if it is all work related, Microsoft does not have a good track record for security (/sarcasm). I'm mindful of the article where Microsoft had to admit that 4 major users of Azure had their databases wide open.

As with any other cloud service provider, MS isn't responsible for how end users, even if it's a large organization, configures their security. While I know nothing about this particular story, it's doubtful this was an out-of-the-box setting. I'm betting some admin got frustrated at the default ridiculous-barriers-every-step-of-the-way default and just opened everything up to make his job easier.
Fortunately Azure also provides tools to analyze said configuration.

So...Azure may be complete overkill. Sound like you just need OneDrive - but OTOH the various Azure storage options give you a lot more control over what MS can or cannot read. OneDrive is a mere consumer service (with a free tier) - are you surprised they poke around to see what data they're made to host (and thus are liable for)?
