i found this instagram post ... of course 99% are bogus but i tried it myself ..  using any screen name you have, including here,  you can in several steps using 3 hacker websites that will find any major websites you are using that real world handle.  and they in 2 more steps find and crack the password.     only salvation is if  your account has 2 step authentication ..  

in 90 seconds i found out the three most used passwords my wife uses .. of course i didnt tell her but again 2 step kept me from logging in ...  which i wouldnt anyway as i respect her privacy as she respects mine  whew !  

this is scary but i guess should not be surprising.  

take notes when watching

well good practice to change passwords once a year ...  and my password to TER is very unique, not even close to any of my real life passwords   .. better safe than sorry

"Password length is more important than complexity, as recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack through brute-force attacks, and a passphrase made of random words is a good way to achieve both length and memorability. While complexity (using a mix of characters) adds another layer of security, length is the primary factor in increasing a password's strength." - Gemini AI
