Re:CVE-2024-54471: Leaking Passwords (and More!) on macOS by bobbylarrybobby on Friday March 21, 2025 @01:22PM (#43438490)
Don't forget the time that Apple would show your password in plaintext instead of your password hint: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15410953

“If a hint was set in Disk Utility when creating an APFS encrypted volume, the password was stored as the hint. This was addressed by clearing hint storage if the hint was the password, and by improving the logic for storing hints.”
