     This is why I cleverly throw would-be hackers off the trail with this clever combo:

     Username: password
     Password: username

     @stux Total beginners mistake. What you do is

     Username: "password"
     Password: "username"

     Safe.

     @quantensalat @stux My Polish colleague: "my password is asdf1234, but you'll never be able to remember my username"

     Joke's on you, Zbigniew, ten years later I can still spell both your name and Krzysztof's. 😃

     @stux The excellent "Ted Lasso" had an episode with this:
     Jamie: It's so stupid. I should have been more careful. I should have picked a stronger password or something.
     Keeley: Oh, no. Don't tell me your password was "password," Jamie.
     Jamie: Yeah. Well, to be fair, I did think I'd fool 'em 'cause I spelled it with two S's.

     @stux The Helpdesk Admin once reset my password for the Mailaccount: Test1234.
     It worked for several years because I had no rights to reset the password by myself. 🥴

     Sigh...

     Well, it's what they call social engineering, but this one was too easy.... ;)

     This is in fact precisely how easy it often IS.

     @clacke @stux @janvenetor i don't know what other people took from it, but I say if you aren't playing Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" 24/7 egging you on to deploy your code, are you really living?
