Hey, could somebody add the example from Teen Wolf episode code breaker where Stiles guesses Scott's laptop username and password and they're both "allison"?

As noted under "Jokes", raising an error when a user picks a password already being used by somebody else is an amazingly bad security practice - in many cases. Just to note, the alternative - allowing more than one account to use the same password, is also an amazingly bad security practice - in many cases. Although the ways this gets exploited are less obvious (nor is it always easy to look at a setup and correctly judge which way will turn out to have been less risky in practice), so it's harder to make jokes about them.

Deliberately invoked in a spy parody (?!?) when they set the password to "Kiss Me Quick" (of course the hot chick always gets kissed when she utters the phrase). Slap me with a trout but I can't recall the title. Or google it, for that matter.
