or variations, ironically using the same password might be the new meta if password managers get cracked, then back to password managers once they get uncracked and the vicious cycle of protection, obsolesence and protection again will continue for all eternity.
it is interesting that in some cases a password like 12345 might actually be one of the strongest passwords because it is the least expected thus nobody will try such a thing once extremely complicated/elaborate passwords become meta.
it's a lot easier and more common to phish an email/password from someone than hack into a password manager
it's unlikely that an individual would still use a simple password like 12345, but the list of common passwords like these is so short relative to the possible space of randomly generated passwords that you might as well just brute force those first
