After resetting passwords all morning for the goldfish that work here, I am ready for another long holiday...

WTF is it so hard for people to remember a freaking password?!? :mumble:

WTF is it so hard for people to remember a freaking password?!? :mumble:

Well when it has to be 10 characters long, not be a word, have at least one capital letter, special symbol, and a number... plus can't be based on a previous password for the last 12 months... it get hard to remember them after a couple of days....

Well, maybe if they didn't have to remember 15 different passwords!

My new company requires pw's to have an upper-case letter, a lower-case letter, a numeral, a non-numeric character, 8 characters minimum, and must start and end with a letter. And a 90 day turn around.

I resorted to writing it on a post-it.

 

[sanjuro]

By the way, did you tell the Family Man to stick his shift request?

 

[SkaredShtles]

My passwords are always based on something that's easy to remember but seemingly cryptic:

TqbfJ^t1d for example.

Passwords are easy to remember, combination locks on the other hand have screwed with me all my life.

This is how my company is too. It's impossible.

Except that I have 25+ accounts like that and have no problems.

HAHHAH i feel your pain, i am an admin for one of the software products we use here and get all the same requests...i wish people would maintain a .txt file with that info...

 

[SkaredShtles]

H<snip> i wish people would maintain a .txt file with that info...

Yeah - that's a *brilliant* idea.

 

[Tenchiro]

I wouldn't want them to use a .txt file but at least write the info down an put it in your wallet or purse.

That's how my company is. Except that since we are a hospital and deal with patient medical records you are not allowed to write your password down. If we see your password on a post it we are supposed to report you to the HIPAA compliance hotline so they can fire you.

I tell people this... Don't blame us, blame your elected officials. Our password rules are because of the HIPAA Act.

Except that I have 25+ accounts like that and have no problems.

Yeah, being the IT guy I have waaaaaaay more passwords and accounts to remember than most people. And if I can do it so can the end user. They get no sympathy from me.

You should make them create an encrypted document with the info. One that requires a passphrase.

yeah, one with >3 security features!

 

[Changleen]

It's really not that to remember several passwords. Are y'all high?

Not at work.

Same here... Needs Cap, non-cap, number, symbol, 7 characters, no repeats of old ones, and change every 90 days.
