I bet this person's home WiFi password is 64 random characters, and they judge you silently for using your pet's name followed by '123'.

When your "secure" one-factor authentication system literally displays the verification code in the same message asking for it. Nothing says "Fort Knox of cybersecurity" like putting the answer key right above the test!

The ultimate security theater—an Epson projector with a "PASSWORD PROTECTED" sticker slapped on it. Because nothing says "Fort Knox" like a device whose default password is probably "admin" or "0000".
