This is the sort of culture where betrayal or knowing something you're not is much more serious than what exactly it is, or the usefulness of you knowing it.

The fuck do I do /g/

"Hey bro, your password file is (here) so you don't forget next time. Btw, (x website) was hacked recently, its always a good idea to change your passwords every few months."

Chrome and Firefox should save his login data if he's logged in to their services.

You already did more than you should have. Never ever fix other people's shit.

You were what I'm going to call a bad actor, you wanted an excuse to go through this guy's data for some reason, get help for yourself you got psychopathic tendencies and you see nothing wrong about it.

>>58302907
That's the thing. He never uses it.

At this point I'm considering just bullshitting him and saying his password preferences imported along with his bookmarks "and all your other stuff, so check out Google Passwords, hey maybe other passwords are there."

>put all of his folders into a new folder on new computer named "Old Stuff"
>"hey anon I just copied your documents and pictures folders here if you needed anything from your old install"
>"thanks man!"

You don't need to make it more complicated than that. You're just feeling guilty for being a dirty peeping tom.

I don't deny any of it, hell I love rifling through people's stuff. Just a curious guy.

None of it *interests* me though. There's nothing there to abuse, and isn't worth a bother. Got enough of my own stuff to sort as it is.

The point of this is to make his life easier and mine whenever he asks me to do something on his laptop in the future, which I am happy to help with.
None of that is remotely easy when he doesn't know his old passwords to half of his shit.

Is the file named something stupid like "passwords.txt?" Just say "dude, there's a password file on your desktop, is that what you were looking for?

>None of it *interests* me though. There's nothing there to abuse
So, if there was something there to abuse, what would you do? That anon is right, you have psychopathic tendencies and you need help.

Here's my advice: tell your friend where you found his password file and that he should change all his passwords and then check yourself into a psychiatric facility.

You're either young or haven't dealt with many people in your life, when you fix someone's shit for them and they fuck it up again all on their own, guess who's fault it is? It's your fault. Backlit on the screen quit working? It's your fault, he spills water on his keyboard, works for a while and then it quits? It's your fault. This is the way in which people think, so you already set yourself up for a lifetime of service of that dudes computer.

>making his life easier

Why do you think people buy macs? He wants to make his life easier he'll buy a mac which is what people who can't use computers will often use for good reason.

You need to focus more on your life and let other people live theirs, your curiosity will get you in some real shitty trouble one day trust me, I was you at one point. You don't want police coming to your place of employment to ask you about someones computer you worked on. Worry about yourself and your life, let other people live theirs.
