My cat passed away around 2 years ago now. I miss him a lot, but just haven't been financially stable enough to adopt another.

Could you post nice stories and funny things about your cat(s) and talk about how much you love them? Thank you!

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!

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.

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.
