That one comment about my passwords stung more than I expected

Some random on a thread told me my password manager was pointless if I used 'Password123!' for my email. I switched to a 20-character random string and now I actually sleep better at night. Anyone else get roasted into better habits like that?

Yeah, has anyone ever actually sat down and looked at how many times a day they type their passwords in? Because I did the math one time and it was way more than I thought. That comment probably saved you from having your whole digital life cracked open by one lazy password. The hard part is that once you start taking it seriously, you realize how many sites still have bad security that makes even a good password kind of useless. Your mileage may vary but I'd say that sting was worth a few sleepless nights down the road.

Oof, that's a rough but fair wakeup call. Glad it worked out.
