They are always telling us that we should use a password manager of cours.
However there is no 100 percent secure system if as has been mentioned
servers with customer data can be just sold to any tom dick or Serge.

Nothing is 100% secure, but there is plenty you can do to limit the
damage when something goes wrong.

I mean, another thing to look at is wifi password. Now if its too hard,
nobody can remember it, if its too simply people can guess it, and of
courrse many devices that use a cloud storage system actually store it,
supposedly encrypted.

A decent password ought not be "memorable". If you need it, go look at
the written record of it (the plate on the back of the router if you
like), or use the WPS button for creating new connections.

The hackers know about exploiting apis these days as people use these off
the shelf like a way to stop having to write new ones, but if they don't
use them properly often a breach is created bigger than the brain of Marvin.
