Preliminary research
Vaultjacking: One Captured PIN, the Entire Google Password Manager Vault
AI-collected research leads through 2 October 2026, including bounded month-by-month reviews of selected social and community sources from April through September. Unranked, incomplete, not community-vetted, and subject to change.
An adversary-in-the-middle flow captures a Google password-manager sync PIN, persists access with an attacker-owned passkey and joins the victim's security domain from a new device. The chain releases synchronized passwords and passkeys rather than stopping at an account session.
