So I was about to sign in to my YouTube account on a computer that I have never used, yet somehow, it already had my username and gave me a prompt for my password. I've never seen this happen. I had a flash drive inserted. Did it read some sort of data that was stored on it? This feels really intrusive.

No, that's a cookie and you (or someone else) had previously logged in in that computer.
>>54751791
You probably signed into something else beforehand.
>>54751791
had you logged into gmail/ your google account?
OP here. I've never used this computer or signed into any other accounts.

Do not fight the botnet, embrace it.

Then someone else had. It's not magic.

But I was my account. I should hope no one else has my login info

boo hoo

You suffer from severe memory loss and signed in from that computer before.
This is Google we're talking about. Do you really think they don't know it's you?
>>54751791
you have signed to something google. there is no else to it.

that's a browser-side issue, do you use chrome? it probably synced using the wifi connection with your phone or something, or you previously logged in from that pc and you simply forgot about it, that's why the cookies were saved.
Alzheimer, you're very old and forget things, but you cant tell because you're sick
When I set up a new computer, I always copy the ~/.mozilla directory from my old computer and unsurprisingly I have the same thing happen every time. It doesn't seem likely, but is there any way this would have gotten copied? Did you copy your home directory?

No. It wasn't even my computer. It was on a school network.
