How researchers cracked an 11-year-old password to a crypto wallet. If you used the RoboForm password manager to generate a password prior to their 2015 bug fix that password was generated using a pseudo-random number generator based on your device’s current time—which means an attacker may be able to brute-force the password from a shorter list of options if they can derive the rough date when it was created.
(In this case the password cracking was consensual, to recover a lost wallet, but this still serves as a warning to any RoboForm users with passwords from that era.)
