My cousin the IT guy called me out for reusing passwords

He saw me log into my bank with the same password I use for some random forum. Said I was basically handing the keys to my life over. Made me actually go change 40 accounts in one night. Anyone else get roasted by a family member for bad habits?

bro that sucks but honestly your cousin did you a favor. the password manager thing is real tho, i had a buddy lose everything when his crashed and he didnt have backups anywhere. it's a total nightmare.

And here's the thing nobody talks about - password managers aren't some magic fix. I've seen two friends get completely locked out of their lives when their manager glitched and they didn't have backup codes saved. So yeah, your cousin's right about reusing passwords, but the real lesson is having a solid system that actually works when things break.
