Alright Admin Retards, 1: Your 'change password every 45 days' policy is nonsense. Having hoards of mouth breathers change their password from '123' to '456' every 45 days isn't making your network more secure. They're using easy passwords because remembering a new complex password every few weeks is nonsense. 2: Your 'cannot use same password for at least 10 iterations' is nonsense. This provides absolutely NO benefit to network security and if you think it does you should be terminated - and no, I don't mean your job. You Nazi administrators out there that set up these stupid policies are doing absolutely NOTHING to secure your networks with these policies. While I agree with enforcing complex passwords these other extraneous policies are nothing but grief and do absolutely nothing. PRO TIP: Actually read up on your job, learn real techniques, and leave the 'appearance of security' to posers like the TSA. It's BS like this that makes me want to leave IT altogether.

My favourite is the security question where a valid answer is invalid!
Stupid Security:
What colour was your first car?
Me:
Blue
Stupid Security:
Sorry, your answer must contain at least 6 characters.
Me:
OK, my first car was "F-ck Off!" coloured! :mad:
:rolleyes:

That is an odd security question since there are only about 10 expected possible answers. Perfect example of an inconvenience introduced in the name of security that has no benefit.

Well, I made NO secret of it being a repost. As mentioned, I thought the situation called for it! If indeed you believe that you have read ALL posts on the CP, then you could just have skipped my post when you saw the "Repost" subject line and moved along peacefully... ;P

My favorite is when they force me to pick from a set of canned insecurity questions that I have no possible legitimate answer to. ex "What is your favorite sports team" - "none! the tax swilling vermin sucking as the public teat should die in a fire for wasting my money on enormous new boondogles that despite their lies never actually earn out the amount of money they extorted from the govt." "what is your favorite niece's name" - "not that it's any of your elephanting business; but unless they're not telling me something none of my siblings have children."
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

I've got some sites I have to visit occasionally. Maybe 3, 4 times a year. Of course, the passwords expire every 60 days. So I have to create a new password every single time I go to those sites. Sigh.
