A man lost access to his Bitcoin wallet due to a flaw in his password manager.

A security expert used this flaw to guess the password and recover the Bitcoin, which is now worth millions of dollars.

The password manager company fixed the flaw in 2015, but it's unclear if newer versions are still vulnerable.

Beware of flaw in password managers!!
