The problem isn't weak passwords like Ritzau and Jens Myrup Pedersen want you to believe. It’s that we are using passwords to authenticate authorized users in public databases for unlimited time and bandwidth.
It's the 21c, and people still do not Keberos.

If only they'd used something more secure, like 12345678

What's weird is that at my org we have all the security theatre and regular password changes and training videos you have to watch every month, and I just assume people ignore the training because it's obvious stuff. It's clearly not obvious stuff to some folks.

having 50+ passwords to manage that changes every day is partly the reason

that theatre is directly bad

Web site not working for me. Is CPR in this context, CPR? Or is this some other use of the same letters?

Of course people don't use Kerberos, it's 21c.
