The bar is so low. I just had to visit somebody today to help them fix their computer. There was dirt on the fingerprint reader, and they forgot their password. I told them their password was their user name. I.e. hunter / hunter and it didn't work.... (I chose this because of their modest tech experience)

They were using hunter / Hunter instead.
