[01]
The interviewer asks a man on the subway for his "take," prompting a rant about there being too many passwords. The man argues that password systems should be more lenient and that anyone who can guess his password deserves access. He debates the utility of password managers with the interviewer, rejects the idea of needing a password for his passwords, and contrasts his own memory struggles with the interviewer's strategy of using one strong, slightly modified password for everything.

What's your take? There's too many passwords, man. 100% agree. I think if you put in your password and it's close enough, they should be like, yeah. That's fine. You're in. So if it's a lowercase K? Yeah. Or if it's just a similar worse. And I think if you guess my password and you know my email, you deserve to get in. You deserve to have Yeah. You're similar to me. You know my stuff. You don't have a password manager? I don't wanna use a password to get to my passwords. When does it stop? Asking another app, can I please get my passwords? Like, you're an adult. How many passwords do you have? I don't know. I I don't remember any of them but there's a lot. See, that's your problem. Might be. I'm still using the same one. For everything? I developed a very strong password. Okay. You'll never yes. It's not my animals. It's not my parents. It's not my birthday. Yeah. Yeah. It's the most random object in the world and it changes just a little bit. I used to do that. But I'm sick of walking around and be like subway, bench, floor, door. 123. Yeah. My whole name is just seven letters. It's just Dan Yang. I can't remember more than that. If I was you, I would do DAN Okay. LowercaseYangExclamationPointAtSign. I'm gonna use that. Don't dump
