Microsoft Recall and the Hidden Risks for Crypto Users

Since April, Microsoft has rolled out a new AI-powered feature called *Recall* for Copilot+ PCs running Windows 11. It quietly takes constant screenshots of everything happening on your screen, apps, websites, messages, logins, wallets, you name it. All of it is stored locally in a searchable timeline meant to help you "recall" anything you've done on your computer.

But for crypto users, this convenience might come at a high price.

The problem? Everything gets captured. That includes sensitive information like seed phrases, exchange logins, transaction details, and two-factor codes. Even though Recall data is stored locally, it's still accessible to malware, hackers, or anyone who gets into your device.

If you're managing crypto through browser wallets, exchanges like #Binance , or even desktop wallets, one screenshot at the wrong time could mean losing your funds.

Worse, Recall runs in the background by default. Disabling it requires extra steps, and many users aren't even aware it exists.

For those of us in crypto, this is a serious privacy concern. We're always talking about self-custody and personal responsibility, but what happens when your system is recording everything without you knowing?

Stay safe. Use hardware wallets when possible. Keep your systems clean. And if you're using Windows 11 with Recall, take a moment to check if it's enabled, and turn it off if you value your privacy.
