Is Microsoft's New Screenshot Tool Safe?

You might be thinking about using Microsoft's new screenshot tool, Recall. It's back after being delayed due to security issues. But is it safe? Some users say it's still not secure enough. The tool is supposed to automatically stop screenshotting when it sees sensitive information like credit card numbers. However, tests showed it didn't always work as expected. It even screenshotted a fake loan application and a dummy page with a credit card info line. Microsoft said you can tell Recall not to screenshot specific websites. They also encouraged users to report any issues through their Feedback Hub. The company is still working out the kinks in this beta version. Recall is an opt-in feature, and it's off by default. It's important to remember that this is still a work in progress. Microsoft has to consider every possible way someone could access sensitive information through this tool. Some people might find Recall useful, but it's best to use it for a while before deciding if it's worth it. You need to build up a good number of screenshots and see how well it works for you. It's also a bit strange to know that your work, conversations, and online activities are being recorded. What's even more surprising is that Microsoft planned to release Recall without all this extra fine-tuning half a year ago.
