      At one point the organization I work for had a password that was literally Password-022!, guess what it was the following month?

      I had to start hashing passwords and sending it to the haveibeenpwned API.

      I also fight with my users over data normalization because any time I add some rule (like don’t put “SO#” as part of the value of the “SO#” field), they’re too stupid to realize the point and find some other “hack” around it.
