> It's 2018, no sane person would reuse their passwords across multiple sites which can and do get hacked.

All of my family does this :(. I think it's really common outside of tech savvy people. I've tried pushing them to use a password manager on their phone, or writing them down so they can use multiple passwords, but they'd rather just use a single one.

Years of bad advice didn't help either:

    - Never write your password down
    - Make sure you use at least one symbol!
    - Make sure you use one capital letter!
