Firefox sync
So for anyone who used firefox sync to manage your data between apps here's a warning for you.
The sync encryption key is created against your current password, reset your password and all your data is removed from the server. That's fine if you have an active PC with all your links etc, but I reinstalled and lost all my work stuff.
Really ****ty security process, at the very least they should have a warning.
