YES!!!

"Humans are stupid. Really, really stupid."

I know they say you shouldn’t use the same password for everything, but who can remember all those random letters and numbers? Fuck ‘em. I use the same password for everything - bank accounts, websites, online purchases, bills - all of it. 

It’s the last eight digits of pi.

I learned to use a different password for every site after some scumbag hacked a wood working site that I was a member of and got (one of) my email passwords from it. That was over a decade ago. The schlub started trying to sell something or the other, but it was contained pretty rapidly, since I have MANY email accounts, and this one only went to a few people after it got compromised. That reminds me. It's time for my 90-day password reset on all my accounts. If I ever get Alzheimer's I'm hosed. I keep them all in memory.

I use passwords that are extremely difficult to remember or spell.

Basically, any Polish surname.

I worked at a company many years ago that had the computer system I worked on push out new passwords every 90 days. It always caught me by surprise, because I had a lot of very important work to focus on  and didn't spend a lot of time looking at the password countdown. I almost always had to go to an admin and have them reset my password the day after that renewal, because I would forget. They were just random strings of letters with a sort of phonetic pronunciation to use as a mnemonic. BTW, what grit Polish did you use?

It just reminds me of the joke about the Polish man getting his eyes tested by reading the board with the progressively smaller letters.

The doctors says can you read the letter on the bottom line, The Polish man says, read them? I know them?

Though a lot of sties insist on you then adding numbers and symbols you promptly forget.

There's a scene from 'Dexter' in which he's trying to hack into his sister's computer.  Knowing his potty-mouth sister like he does, he tries entering 'password' for her password.  When that doesn't work, he enters 'fuckingpassword'.  Bingo!
