Remember when we used to just share one password for everything?

Last week I was helping a student log into a school portal and they asked me for their 'credential manager' access. Made me think back to maybe 2015 when I had the same password for my email, bank, and streaming all at once. Crazy how we just trusted that nothing bad would happen. Anyone else ever have a close call that finally got you to change your habits?

Wait, that student had a whole credential manager?

Bet it wasn't for classwork. Kids that organized usually run scripts or automate stuff. Credential manager means they got passwords for multiple services. Could be building bots, scraping data, running side gigs. School IT probably flagged them for suspicious logins or blocked IPs.
