Hot take: those password managers everyone pushes aren't a silver bullet
I was skeptical of 1Password for years until a coworker at my office in Chicago had his work email hacked through a reused password. He lost access to 3 different accounts before IT caught it, and that's what finally got me to try one. Anybody else find that the real risk is just how lazy we get with passwords across sites?

My neighbor got hit last year, reused his banking password on some random forum and they cleaned out his savings account in 4 hours. That sold me on a password manager real quick. The thing most people miss is you still gotta use two-factor authentication on top of it, and make sure the master password is something you can remember but nobody could guess. I tell customers to write that master password down on paper and lock it in a drawer at home, not stored anywhere digital. What made you finally switch over?

That's why I tell people the Biggest scam in modern life is convincing us passwords are supposed to be easy.
