The '123456' password stat from a Verizon report is worse than I thought
According to the 2023 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, over 80% of hacking-related breaches involve weak or stolen passwords, and I saw a coworker last week using 'Password1' on a work laptop that connects to our client files, so how do you actually get people to switch to a password manager without sounding like a nag?
A buddy of mine kept his client logins in a notebook until his kid taped a sticky note to his monitor as a joke and he realized half the office could see it. What finally worked was the IT guy setting up the manager for him and moving his stuff over, so he never had to do the boring part himself.
