conversations with my mum on signal

mum: "Signal asks me to give a PIN. Is that a scam?"
me: "No, they wanna verify you remember the PIN for emergencoes."
mum: "Which PIN?"
me: "The one you set for it. Maybe try your regular PIN from the phone. Maybe you reused it."
mum: "What's my regular PIN?"
me: "It's maybe the one with the world war occurrence."
her: "Which one was that?"
me: "I don't wanna write it here for security reasons, but it's the PIN from your bank card "
her: "Oh, why didn't you say so??"
(20 minutes go by)
her: "1918 doesn't work!"

@[email protected] Getting my mom to not paste clear text passwords in Signal (or any chat) is a impossible task. She is like a child who is overly excited to share a secret.
@rain my biodad often says I have my mum's smarts, since he still has his 

@kaia next time someone tells me #Signal is convenient and easy to onboard #TechIlliterates, I'll just send them this and tell them:

- Your problem is #TechIlliteracy!
