Local Man Discovers WiFi Password Is Just the Word "Password"

SPRINGFIELD, FICTIONAL COUNTY — Local resident Gary Plimpton, 43, made a groundbreaking discovery Tuesday when he realized the WiFi password his family had been using for six years was, in fact, the word "password."

"I tried everything," Plimpton told our fabricated reporters. "I reset the router twice. I yelled at Alexa. I even called my ex-wife, who set up the network during happier times."

The breakthrough came when Plimpton's 8-year-old daughter pointed to a yellow sticky note on the refrigerator that read "WiFi Password: password" in his own handwriting.

Dr. Helena Cordswoggle, a fictional professor of Obvious Things at the University of Made-Up Studies, called the discovery "a watershed moment in the field of people not reading things that are right in front of them."

Plimpton has since changed the password to "password123" and written it on a new sticky note labeled "NOT THE WIFI PASSWORD (JK IT IS)."
