I just checked, the credentials are still good.

phew, that was close!
... wait

You are truly a good person.

or just don't use the same login information for everyone for a platform that way it doesn't need to be publicly posted.

It's the 21c, passwords shouldn't exist.

The real problem is there's not really a better solution that works well for private accounts owned by individuals who only have a single device.
They say that authentication is using either something you know, something you have or something you are, but in the real world it ends up being something you've forgotten, something you've lost and something that you were at one time but are no longer

also the sign language translator standing in front of a non-greenscreened greenscreen is a bit funny

Not to mention that door is held together by two hamsters and a paper clip.

There is a business I walk past every day and when you look in the window you can see wifi login creds and her name and password. Ive considered saying something but then I'd have to explain why they shouldn't do it and argue with them that its important.
Plus they're property managers so i would laugh if they got hacked.

There was a common issue with a local ISP that their default wifi router passwords were based on the router's MAC address.
I scanned the wifis I could reach from my flat and found one that was vulnerable. Now I didn't know who that wifi belonged to. I would have had to knock on everyone's door, asking everyone if it's their wifi. Couldn't be bothered doing that and looking stupid doing so.
So instead I logged into their wifi and from there into their router config web page (it also had the default credentials admin/admin) and changed the SSID to [old SSID]_hacked.
The day after they had changed the SSID back and changed the password.

Hack them and assign all the properties to your name.

Realistically if the company fails due to their terrible cyber security practices there's a high chance their properties will just be sold to an even larger property management firm

Who's using National TV for this? I said Signal only!

You didn't say which signal.

The secret one.
