Shoutout to my friend who still uses 'password123' for everything

I saw him log into his bank account with it at a coffee shop in Denver last week, and it made me realize how many people treat passwords like a minor detail. What's the most basic security habit you had to unlearn?

Yeah, and @phoenix_grant34 is right about the free samples. The hardest habit I broke was using the same password everywhere. I started using a password manager to make unique ones, and it's a total game changer.

Logging into a bank with 'password123' at a coffee shop is basically just handing out free samples.

Honestly, @phoenix_grant34, maybe we're all just too paranoid about this stuff (seriously, who's even looking).
