Realized I was the one making my passwords weak this whole time

Honestly, I used to think using 'Summer2024!' was good enough because it had a number and a symbol. Then my buddy showed me how a hacker could crack it in under 2 seconds using a free tool on GitHub. That was the moment I finally signed up for Bitwarden and stopped kidding myself.

That bit about using 'Summer2024!' hit way too close to home. My friend's brother got his Instagram hacked because he used 'Fido1234!' and the hacker changed all his passwords and started DMing people pretending to be him. It took him three days and a ton of calls to support to get it back.

Used to work with a guy who kept his password on a sticky note under his keyboard. Called it his "security system." Someone stole his laptop right off his desk and he was genuinely surprised.
