Remember, kids, that pet’s names are often used for passwords. Don’t share sensitive information.
I don't care, I just love my little top$ecret123!
That's on them then. Password managers are free and have been around for a while, no excuses using personal information in a password anymore.
It takes trust to give all your password to a piece of software. With all the leaks on the news can you blame them? For people with multiple devices an offline password manager is unwieldy. And self-hosting an online password manager is beyond the capabilities of most.
Oh for sure, I see your point. I would still trust managers over using (most likely) same insecure personal info passwords for every web account.
Oh, that's true!
It'd be fun to hear the names, but I understand if people don't say or use a different name.
