Overheard a guy say his password manager was 'too hard', big red flag

At a coffee shop in Austin last week, this dude told his friend he kept his bank login in a notes app because LastPass felt like a hassle. Told him that's how you get drained in a phishing scam, anyone else know someone who refuses to switch?

Is it just me, or does the password manager thing tie into how people treat anything that takes five extra seconds, like flossing or backing up their phone? The pattern I see everywhere is folks picking the easy option today and paying for it hard later, and it's wild that we still treat basic digital safety like it's optional homework. Same energy as people who ignore software updates until their laptop bricks itself, honestly.

Ugh, it's like we're all just renting our own safety until the bill comes due!
