Heard a guy at the hardware store say his password was his kid's birthday

Honestly, it made me think about how many people use easy-to-guess personal info. I started using a password manager after that and it's way less stressful. Anyone else have a simple switch that made a big difference?

Man, that's rough but so common. My old boss used his dog's name for everything, it was a mess. Getting a password manager felt like unlocking a new level of adulting, no more sticky notes on the monitor.

Hey @tara_sanchez, wasn't there a study that said like "password123" is still the most common one? Wild. A manager really is a game changer though.

Oh man, that reminds me of my aunt. She used her childhood phone number as her PIN for everything, and then she got mad when her bank card got locked. Some habits are just impossible to break.
