Ad targeters are pulling data from your browser's password manager

[MindWars]

Nearly every web browser now comes with a password manager tool, a lightweight version of the same service offered by plugins like LastPass and 1Password. But according to new research from Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy, those same managers are being exploited as a way to track users from site to site.

Oh but you shouldn't care you , nor anyone in your family is doing anything wrong. Never worry this data information can never be used against you whatever gave you that idea. lmao.

In other words, a web page that collects a password can collect a password, if you let it.

That would explain why it's not setting off alarms in the security world.

Thanks for this information, Chicken Little.

I don't use a password manager. I have no idea how the internet knows what it knows. I have no Facebook account. Every so often I get a warning notice that I do not have a Facebook account and instructed to create one. How do they know I don't have one and why the warning?

No shit, tard. Your Internet browsing information has been collected by advertisers for years. You act like this is some earth shattering information.
