That old IT guy at the coffee shop who called me out on my passwords

Was grabbing a coffee last month at that place on 3rd street. Overheard me complaining to my buddy about getting locked out of my bank account. Old guy sitting next to me just says "bet your password is something easy like Summer2023." He was dead right. Told me I was basically handing my info away. Dude spent 5 minutes showing me how password managers work on his phone. Ever had a stranger just call you out like that completely unprovoked?

Dude was doing you a solid, go grab Bitwarden right now.

And I'm over here like a clown with my passwords on a sticky note under my keyboard. @lewis.finley is right though, Bitwarden is legit. I finally switched last year after losing a whole week of work to a locked account. Took me like three tries to set it up without confusing myself though. Got there eventually.

Did you really use sticky notes, @anderson.piper? I once taped mine to my monitor.
