User: "I got hacked!"
Me: "What was your password?"
User: "123456"

Just accidentally used my cat’s name as my password. Now I can’t get into my email because apparently, MrWhiskers123 isn’t secure enough! 🐾😹 #PasswordFail
Protip: Clearly state your password requirements, @DakotaElec, so we're not left guessing how a 32-character-long cocktail of mixed-case letters, numbers, and party symbols (!@#$%^&*) somehow does not meet your minimum strength requirement? 🤷♂️ #PasswordFail

Which is surely the very problem we’re trying to avoid by giving them an organisational email account in the first place. What makes it worse is when the person doesn’t seem sure of the rules themselves…. #password#passwordfail#weneedtodobetter#ITfail#passwordrules
Laugh a little but get the message😊
I used to think 'password123' was a secure password. Then I took a cybersecurity course and realized I might as well have been using 'welcome1'.
