Username: username
Password: password

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

Username: password
Password: username

@jargoggles I'm super mega super sure those combo's are in each basic wordlist

@stux By the way, what is your credit card number?

@stux Total beginners mistake. What you do is

Username: "password"
Password: "username"

Safe.

@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.

@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. πŸ˜ƒ

@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. πŸ₯΄

@stux

Sigh...

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

@stux cue the guy working for Paypal whose credit card number root encryption key password was... "a$$word".

@xs4me2
This is in fact precisely how easy it often IS.
@stux

@stux Social engineering in its purest, most basic form πŸ˜†

@janvenetor That Paypal master key story was a ride!

@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?

@musicman @janvenetor @stux Have definitely done that. 😊
