Research shows the average person has somewhere near 100 passwords, which seems like an absurd number until you consider what you use them for these days.

There are passwords for email, streaming services, social media, banks and ... well the list goes on and on. And that doesn’t include passwords for websites you no longer use.

Keeping track of all those passwords is no easy task. Heck, even Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a hard time remembering his. So says his wife, Brittany, who shared a funny message on Twitter as Chiefs training camp was starting.

“Look forward every year to the text from @PatrickMahomes asking for all our logins and passwords once he gets to camp,” Brittany Mahomes wrote.

That tweet generated quite a bit of conversation as fans could relate to forgetting passwords or having to keep track for a spouse.

Here are some of the responses.
