My cat stepped on my keyboard and found a weird security hole

So my cat, Mochi, jumped on my desk while I was working. She walked right across the keyboard. Suddenly, my password manager popped open. Turns out she hit the hotkey combo I set for it. I had to choose: change the hotkey or lock my computer every time I got up. I picked the hotkey change. Now it's Ctrl+Shift+9 instead of something easy. Took me a week to stop messing it up. Anyone else have a pet cause a security scare?

My old dog once sat on my laptop and somehow opened a command prompt. I spent ten minutes panicking because it looked like the Matrix code was scrolling on my screen. I felt like the worst tech person ever.

Honestly, that's a pretty solid tech support move from your dog. He was probably just trying to run a system update for you. I'd be more worried if he started typing in binary. At least he didn't order a thousand dollars worth of dog treats off Amazon, which is what my cat did once.
