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.
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?

Oh dear…
