    So surprise, the endless legitimate single sign ons on seemingly random websites where users need to enter their password are to blame for this.

    No shock there. The higher up the pecking order you go the more likely the person is to fail thos tests.

      Yup. More power leads to lower enforcement, less training and education, and more acceptance of “minor failings” like this one.

    We have a company that sends us fake phishing attacks every month, logs who clicks on the bad link, and publishes the results of the survey to the CTO.

    Seems like a position as important as MP should have something similar set up for their governmental email accounts.
