Several years ago I was visiting my daughter in another state. She was at work when I arrived so I called her to get her Wi-Fi password. It was 'Getyourown'.

Humans are trusting, not necessarily stupid.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Fairly recent, yes.
The take away from the video should be that most people use passwords that are easy to remember and easy to figure out, not that they're stupid.

It's more out of sloth or convenience, is my take.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

No, I’m thinking ‘stupid’ is the way to go. If a stranger walks up to you and flat out asks, ‘Tell me your password’, you’d tell them to go piss up a rope. If a stranger asks how you came up with your password, and you tell them it’s your pet’s name plus your birthday and then GIVE them your pet’s name and your birthday, you qualify as a stupid person.
