A guy at a Tulsa coffee shop got into my email in 4 minutes because of one old password
I sat down next to him 3 weeks ago with my laptop open and he watched me type it once, then guessed it off my dog's name and a number, so what's the dumbest way someone has cracked one of your logins?

So this guy basically just stared at your fingers and did a little detective work on your dog's name, which is both impressive and super creepy at the same time. My old roommate got into my Netflix by guessing my cat's name plus the year I graduated, and he didn't even have to watch me type anything. The worst part is we think we're being clever with pet names and birthdays, but that's the first stuff anyone tries. I finally started using a password manager and now I don't even know my own logins, which is its own kind of problem. Ever forget a password so bad you had to reset the whole account?
