I thought my password was strong until a friend guessed it in two tries.

It was a mix of my dog's name and my old high school mascot, which I found out is a common pattern on data breach lists. Has anyone else had a 'strong' password fail a simple social engineering check?

See this everywhere, like @wade767 said, we all just rearrange the same few personal facts and call it security.

Honestly thought length was everything until my birthday password got cracked instantly.
