Seriously, a password requirement on a company network occupied by as many temps as full-timers, none of whom had access to anything like secure information, and none of whom would have pissed on the company's building if it were on fire anyway? You want them to be serious about passwords, you better articulate very good reasons. Since that never happened either, yeah. "Password".<br /><br />For things I actually care about, my password selection is a bit more rigorous.Joelhttp://www.joelsgulch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-38650077237939521852012-12-03T16:35:19.584-05:002012-12-03T16:35:19.584-05:00I used to favor mild insults to computers specific...I used to favor mild insults to computers specifically or technology generally, with the year as an add on.<br /><br />HAL95<br />Dave96<br />Ludd97<br />Forbin98<br /><br />and my all time fave:<br /><br />Landrew99<br /><br />Nowadays I have to use something tricksier, foreign language words and a letter indicating what site I am at for instance..<br /><br />DCMachina or E2Denkmal for instance.<br /><br />TacitusTacitushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007086196578740689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-52194739351888457592012-12-03T16:02:02.109-05:002012-12-03T16:02:02.109-05:00I changed mine to "incorrect".

Set it for as few or as many characters as you want, pronounceable passwords, all sorts of nifty options. Almost all of my passwords look like this: heic35knagodOp'. Quite naturally I have to keep an encrypted master file on a flash drive in the safe, because who in the world could remember that x100?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
