Password Nazis: Go Die In A Fire

[Tim Carmichael]

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

[Tim Carmichael]

You missed the 15 character minimum...

Not always. And, I already worked there when they introduced the "new" policy.

Yes, because the option of the administrators knowing their jobs isn't ever going to happen. *flips open the want ads*

Easy way to remember password is just follow these >rules :rolleyes:

Loading signature... . . . Please Wait . . .

'Repost' is also a repost. The irony is dee-licious!

Ah... I bet dollars to donuts the password is stored plain text!

That was funny when Leslie told it.

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:

[Lost User]

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.

You forgot one "Whole or partial real words cannot be used in your password."
