So, I tracked down a powerboard and some IEC C14 to mains cable adaptors and powered back up. On boot, neither the Bluetooth mouse nor keyboard worked. So, I tracked down a wired version of each, logged on, didn&#8217;t find anything weird in the Device Manager, then gave it a reboot, which resulted in the machine not getting past the Lenovo splash screen. So, I rebooted and the same thing happened, unplugged the new USB devices, rebooted again and ended up on the Bitlocker key entry screen. So, on my spare PC I went to my Microsoft account, retrieved the correct key for the disk in question, rebooted and ended up on the recovery screen. So, I ran the recovery process and, much to my surprise, got straight back into Windows.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what trying to work out the login \/ log in \/ log on \/ sign in thing was like this week; incrementally <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/yak_shaving?ref=troyhunt.com\" rel=\"noreferrer\">shaving the yak<\/a> until things work and make sense!<\/p>\n<p><!--kg-card-begin: html--><\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"width: 170px; display: inline-block; margin-right: 3px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/au\/podcast\/troy-hunts-weekly-update-podcast\/id1176454699?ref=troy-hunt\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/content\/images\/2018\/05\/Listen-on-Apple-Podcasts.svg\" alt=\"Weekly Update 449\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 175px; display: inline-block; margin-right: 3px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL7LAAxaabizMAXnJe0s3xjQ30q12EVmjt&amp;ref=troyhunt.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/content\/images\/2024\/09\/Watch-and-Listen-on-YouTube.svg\" alt=\"Weekly Update 449\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 118px; display: inline-block; margin-right: 3px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/7jMtKFohdrw6qmz8AkLqit?ref=troy-hunt\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/content\/images\/2019\/10\/spotify.svg\" class=\"kg-image\" alt=\"Weekly Update 449\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 120px; display: inline-block;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/omny.fm\/shows\/troy-hunt-weekly-update\/playlists\/podcast.rss?ref=troy-hunt\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/content\/images\/2018\/07\/Download-via-RSS.svg\" alt=\"Weekly Update 449\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fbZMu6ArgGM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--kg-card-end: html--><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"references\">References<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/1password.com\/troyhunt?ref=troyhunt.com\" rel=\"noopener\">Sponsored by:\u00a01Password Extended Access Management: Secure every sign-in for every app on every device.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/troyhunt\/status\/1914813713586204719?ref=troyhunt.com\" rel=\"noreferrer\">The new Pwned Passwords search is actually <em>too<\/em> fast!<\/a> (settle down, usability isn&#8217;t as simple as &#8220;always make everything as fast as possible&#8221;)<\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/youll-soon-be-able-to-sign-in-to-have-i-been-pwned-but-not-login-log-in-or-log-on\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\">I went down the &#8220;login&#8221; rabbit hole and emerged with &#8220;sign in&#8221;<\/a> (I still feel this was the most logical conclusion to reach)<\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/haveIBeenPwned\/ux-rebuild\/?ref=troyhunt.com\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Keep those great HIBP UX ideas coming!<\/a> (May 17 is our go-live date for the new UX, and it&#8217;s going to be amazing!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Troy Hunt<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/weekly-update-449\/\">Go to troyhunt<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weekly Update 449 Today, I arrived at my PC first thing in the morning to find the UPS dead (battery was cactus) and the PC obviously without power.
