If you’re using Microsoft Edge’s built-in password manager, your saved credentials may not be as safe as you think. A researcher has confirmed that Edge decrypts all saved passwords at startup and stores them in plain text in your computer’s memory – for the entire browser session. Unlike other Chromium-based browsers like Brave and Chrome, Edge is the only one tested that decrypts and loads every credential into RAM at startup, whether you visit those sites or not.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ How Edge handles saved passwords differently from other browsers
➡️ Why storing credentials in clear text in process memory is a serious risk
⚡ What an attacker with admin access or malware can do with a simple memory dump
⭐ Microsoft’s response – and why calling it a “design choice” is not reassuring
❗ Why you should switch to a dedicated password manager like Zoho Vault

Craig Taylor, CISSP and co-founder of Cyber Hoot, has spent 30 years proving that rewarding good behaviour, recognising effort and making training feel like play gets better results than any amount of pressure. In this conversation, Charly sits down with Craig to explore how positive reinforcement and gamification are reshaping cyber security training for small businesses.

Craig's background in psychology gives him a clear lens on why rewarded behaviours are repeated, and why leaderboards, small wins and open-book learning lift engagement across entire organisations.

In this episode, Charly and Craig cover:

✅ Why rewarded behaviours are the ones that stick
➡️ How gamification lifts engagement from leadership to front-line staff
⚡ The PAR method - Pause, Assess, Report - for handling suspicious messages
