I happen to know a primarily mag golf course has 1973 as the alarm code or the locker room key code which was set by a mackem sparky to piss them off. May have been changed now mind.

Nokia 9 PureView fingerprint scanner 'can be fooled with a packet of gum'
But these issues have seemingly become much worse after the update rolled out last week. This has been illustrated by one Twitter user unlocking the device with somebody else’s finger, and then just a packet of chewing gum. They also alleged the PureView can be unlocked using a coin, or leather gloves.

Our IT Police make us change passwords every 2 months and consequently pretty much everyone has the same password with an increasing number at the end, you can tell how long someone has worked there by looking at the last two digits.

My password is "Incorrect", that way if I put it in wrong I get an instant reminder

We receive fake phishing emails sent by our security department every so often, for the last one about 10% of staff clicked on the link in the email and entered personal details and passwords. This is in an IT software company

Very true. That's why I write all of mine down.

I worked with a bloke who had all his work login passwords and ID's on a post it note stuck to his monitor.
This is the biggest problem with passwords - we have created a security mechanism where users are pushed to using something that is hard to remember, easy for a machine to brute force and almost certain to be either based on a common root or recorded somewhere. Easier to remember passwords with longer expirations, MFA and smart conditional access are the future. (Or actually the present if IT org would keep up)
MFA is a massive pain in the arse, everytime I log into anything I need my f***ing phone to get a password

They might have bits of paper to show how 'smart' they are but most would probably give me their wallet if I said I needed to check it.

^^^ this.
It the major flaw in most people's passwords.
Different password for every site, I don't even try to remember them, just let chrome do its thing.

First job I had, there was a keypad to gain entry to the "secure" area, guy came to service it, told the boss it was fine but we needed to change the code as he had guessed it straight off (1066). Next time he came guessed the new code straight off (6969), apparently they were the most common security codes back then 1990s
