Not quite "literally me", but damn close 😅
I knew someone who used his dog's name, plus 2-3 random numbers for his passwords. I finally convinced him that wasn't a good idea 🐶

I have very complex passwords for the accounts the security of which I care about and the likes of "cat_name123" for others, often just "password" — where it can be used, not directly in the form, they often have JS checks, but by doctoring the HTTP request to change the password 😏
I'm not using a password manager and I don't care about the security of these accounts.

These accounts have no payment information associated and I never use my real name without good reason, so why bother? Someone might find out what beer I bought last weekend, OMG!!! 😱 Wait… No, I don't really care. I have a very simple password even for EA account — Electronic Arts might mind someone else playing my games, I don't. It can be used to send SPAM, but I've never asked for "social" functions, so it's again EA who might mind that, not me 😂

In most cases the account can't be taken over as they won't have access to my emails, so why would I care coming up with complex password just to prevent someone from logging in? 🤷
In the end it's the most effective security measure — just don't have any sensitive information associated in your online accounts.
