Password Nazis: Go Die In A Fire
-
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.
This annoys me too. I tell myself it's got to be driven by some misguided regulatory call, and not an actual belief that it makes your accounts more secure, or that it is overall worth it when you factor in the IT support costs, etc. It's part of my bullshit filter, true or not.

Current policy: Password must be changed every 60 days. It must include an upper and lower case letter, a digit and a special character. Minimum password length is 15 characters. Cannot resuse one of the last 10 passwords. I have no issues with it - it is a condition of employement. If you don't like it, you have the option to be employed elsewhere. Tim

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:
