 Neelima Mohanty | Thanks Petya Kangalova for giving such a nice intro for me.I am really glad to have mentors like you and Rob Savoye who support me and guide me at each contribution that I make . Without both of you I wouldn't have reached here and wish to have a wonderful contribution journey with you for this internship period to make a successful project together. 😀 | 03:56:14 |

 martien | I use MS Edge for most of my activities online, including the TM. I also use Bing Chat, that can really be a time saver for writing text or searching info.
This week i was tinkering with the Tasking Manager backend API. For several of these endpoints you need to enter your personal API Key, by copying it from your settings page. I had my settings page loaded, with the Bing chat sidepanel next to it.
I suddenly noticed a little box asking “Send to Bing chat.”, and buttons to approve or not. It contained a random string of characters, looking a bit like a password. I checked, luckily it wasn't the API key, but until now i cannot figure out what that string was instead. And how that string ended up in that box. And how that box came there.
My fear now is: when using MS Edge there is a possibility that selected text can be sent, by accident, to Bing chat, including personal info like an API key or a password etc. etc.
So i (finally) decided to switch to Firefox or Brave, at least for online services that need passwords etc. Maybe i am over cautious, but better safe then sorry. | 10:23:11 |
