Just have the interface that behaves like grep and the output is as expected like grep but internally: indexed, ranked, ...

So the model trusts the output because it is grep :D

(wont accept pw from pw manager and 2FA)]]>Today I tried to login into gmail. But google does not accept the 100 characters long password from the password manager.

PW reset does not work. First it wants a 2fa code, with I provide but then sends a code to the identical email address which i want to login (logic?). Send a code to my phone number works but then sends a code to the identical email address.

What is this for a KI/AI/ML that blocks legit login with a 100 character long random generated pw and 2fa via google authenticator?

Software problem. We cant do anything about it.
