Walked in on my cousin using 'password123' for everything online.

Now I have to gently tell him that's like leaving his front door wide open.

Wow, that's so risky... I totally get why you'd want to tell him, it's like inviting trouble. My brother used to do the same thing with 'letmein' for all his accounts... I had to sit him down and explain how easy that is to guess. It took forever to convince him to use different passwords, but now he uses an app to keep them safe. People just don't realize how fast hackers can crack those simple codes...

Push for password managers. They stop so many hacks.

Laughing at myself because I used to reuse passwords until @charles122 convinced me. Now my password manager has a stronger memory than I do.

Yeah took me getting locked out of three accounts to finally switch. Now I just let the manager make crazy long passwords for me.
