using the same password for every website, except they forget it somehow and have to change it, so they now have five different passwords and can't remember which one to use

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
thinking that the comments on a picture of someone famous on Facebook are going directly to the person pictures instead of the person who posted the picture

back in the day people were constantly told not to write down passwords in case your house was robbed and they stole you bank logins.

with how often sites are hacked or people fall for phishing scams its probably the safest way to remember passwords

thats where im at.

the possibility that someone will hack lastpass or whatever is a lot higher than someone breaking into my house and steal all my passwords imo, and if they do i will know it immediately.

some people getting away with things going from "no writing down your password now" to "before enabling 2fa print this clearly labeled overriding recovery key" without a moment of reflection or the ridicule they are due.

the same but for "facebook login", then when facebook makes a change to its login page and a news site reporting the change becomes the top link for that search, slamming headfirst into the comments section of the article to ask WHERE FACEBOOK

you forgot the part where after typing the entire url they dont press enter but select "search for https://www.google.com" from the dropdown

thereby searching google for google's url so they can click the first hit to go to google and google the thing they wanted to google

boomers don't understand cause and effect with computers, so everything they do is part of a memorized sequence of mumbo-jumbo. that's why they get mad when you use their computer in a different way than they're used to, or try to show them a better technique. you're messing with the magic spell

on the other hand they think I'm some sort of wizard for just... doing stuff.

back when my grandfather was alive he was blown away by that built-in remote support thing windows has/had where they email you a file and you can remote in

When I worked for a security consulting place, we were doing the "so you clicked on the phishing link" training, and part of it had a demo where we have two laptops set up as the "victim" and "attacker". We'd run an attachment that looked like a spreadsheet or whatever on the victim laptop, that would actually be some remote access tool, then we'd show how it showed up on the attacker computer, and start remotely controlling the victim computer.

One time when we got to that point, when we started to remotely move the mouse around, a lady was so absolutely terrified that she fainted, and we had to stop and call an ambulance. She was ok but we never did that dumb demo as part of the presentation again.

this is because they don’t know what URLs actually are, ime they think of them like the name or title or something rather than a definitive address or location
