I royally fucked up when I first started using a password manager:
I created a password entry, copied the password from it, clicked on "change password" in the account I wanted to update, and pasted in.
Repeat for all my accounts, without testing in between.
I forgot that Linux has two separate clipboards for CTRL+C/V and middle click paste.
I used the wrong one for pasting and changed all my passwords to whatever was in the other clipboard at that moment.
Then I shut the computer down.
And then I realized what I'd just done.
