    Social media posts designed to get people to provide their password hints that go viral.

    I worked at an apple retail store, and some people would just hand over every password they have ever had to me! Some would just give me a sheet of paper with passwords, credit card numbers, SSN. Smh.

    Then I would always have a nice conversation about password safety with them.
