I'm doing some mandatory training, and now at part about computers, security and privacy: phishing, encryption, password strength. It's tear-my-hair-out wrong. Also it is almost certainly official policy, so not that kind of wrong. Ignore (like everyone being trained)/cry/both?

This is a good idea imo, the idea is often to teach them but the better use is seeing how often they are clicking these things

What do you mean by security key? Two factor authentication?
-
Yes, specifically the WebAuthn / FIDO2 UAF standard. See Yubikey, one of the popular brands. It's an open specification, so anybody can implement it. The keys can be used with multiple sites without a problem, unlike many previous solutions they're not locked to one site.

Not all instances of passwords on post-its on monitors is wrong. Right now the only threat I face from that particular attack is from my family.

Shared workplace where the whole point of this training is the highly-sensitive data that's accessed only by authorized individuals who are designated as such.
