49% of workers, when forced to update their password, reuse the same one with just a minor change:
A survey of 200 people conducted by security outfit HYPR has some alarming findings.
For instance, not only did 72% of users admit that they reused the same passwords in their personal life, but also 49% admitted that when forced to update their passwords in the workplace they reused the same one with a minor change.
Furthermore, many users were clearly relying upon their puny human memory to remember passwords (42% in the office, 35% in their personal lives) rather than something more reliable. This, no doubt, feeds users' tendency to choose weak, easy-to-crack passwords as well as reusing old passwords or making minor changes to existing ones.
What is so bad about changing "Password1" to "Password2"?

Oh well, guys who you call incels could probably find a crack whore to have sex with, at least in the US. They just don't want to. So the "involuntary" part of incel is not really true.

Many of these are afraid of approaching any woman - which is why when they finally do so, it's often with a gun or rifle or using a vehicle as a weapon to express their rage.

Probably they are intimidated by women they find attractive, I'll give you that. But probably not by women they find unattractive. They are choosing not to pursue the ones they might have better chances with, so their celibacy is in fact voluntary.
