Defiant Microsoft pushes ahead with controversial Recall – tho as an opt-in

Microsoft's new 'Recall' feature automatically captures frequent screenshots and stores them in a local SQLite database, initially unencrypted and easily accessible; security researchers demonstrated tools to extract sensitive information from these snapshots. Following public criticism, Microsoft announced changes including making Recall opt-in, requiring Windows Hello enrollment, encrypting the search index, and adding 'just-in-time' decryption protected by Windows Hello ESS.
