Just came up with my father again.
He blames me that mother forgot her phone’s and Google password because I recommended against it being a word.
I mentioned encryption, “not necessary unless you’re doing something illegal”.
When mentioning lack of privacy with targeted advertisements, he said that he actually really likes them, because he bought a couple of things he wanted for years.

I don’t really have good arguments.

    I mean mine are the same things I’ve used for everything. My PIN is the same 4 numbers I’ve used for everything that asks for a 4 digit code dating back to when the PS2 would ask for one when watching movies. My bank password is the same except with an extra number copied cause they wanted a 5 digit code on the app (I think for the website it’s also just the same password I’ve been using since I made my first ever website account on RuneScape).

    If you’re wanting details like routing numbers or whatever, can’t really help you there. Every time I’ve been asked for that info I go to the bank and get it, put it in whatever asked for it, then throw the paper away. Someone could probably dig in my trashcan or the trash of the carwash I go to and steal the small amount of money I have, but I don’t really care.
