If macOS High Sierra shows your password instead of the password hint

I like the aviation mind set on mistakes: accidents are thoroughly investigated, the aim being to find out what happened and how, not to pin blame. Then, when facile "explanations" of human error are floated, the investigation goes beyond that and examines how the whole system (training, management, SOPs, organisational structure, etc.) allowed the error to happen and, in particular, to escalate into an accident.

Mistakes happen, inevitably – a good system will catch them early enough.

One of our rules for all learning reviews after an incident: "Plan for a world where we are all just as stupid as we are today"

An action item to fix something can never be "don't make that mistake again." You have to make a change to the system to find and prevent the error, not a change to the people in the system.
