   ... I think my son's school just recommended password re-use.

     Oh, that's bad. Their tech staff has been too busy to interact with the outside world?

     @lnxw48a1 I honestly wonder if the bit about avoiding it by using a password manager was left out. He gets orientation (and a school-issued iPad, to his dismay) this week so I guess we'll find out then.

     At least the iPad should have a way to use the Apple Keychain PW manager.

     @lnxw48a1 @gamehawk From the way I read the bit about passwords, I figured it meant they should limit the amount of systems/sites they use.
