    A Google Sheet used as a password manager that every employee had access to. To keep it “secure” the cells with the passwords were hidden by changing the background color to match the text color.

      Oh dear…

      I don’t even understand how that would get past even the first couple of people using it. I imagine the idea was that they’d copy/paste the value into the password field. But did nobody ever paste the password into somewhere other than a password field and realize, “Hey, I can see this password!”…even accidentally?
