They either create no secure accounts, or use the default administrator account... with no password. And when they do create a password for Internet accounts, it's something safe that no one would think of, like "54321", their birthday or their kid's name. And they write it down on a piece of paper taped to the computer.

From my CMU days, they keep them under their keyboard.

One of my brothers-in-law won't do that, he doesn't write them down and then he forgets them. He relies on me to remember them for him. Been going on for years, sigh. Latest thing he was panicking about last week was a screen page warning him to pay $500 to the FBI via a link. After telling him it was a spammer, had to show him how to clean out history and cookies, again for the n'th time. Some people can't handle computers.
