Not true, as it turns out. I created passwords for my users and put them on a laminated card as a courtesy, with instructions to keep it in their wallet, purse, etc. They were turning up stuck to keyboards, shelves next to desks, etc. Some people are really crap at securing small pieces of paper.
- emodendroket 11y agoI'll bet you if it were the details to their own bank account they wouldn't do that! It's a problem of how much people care, really (or how much they think the organization cares).
- m0nty 11y agoI think Schneier's (and my) mistake was assuming people know to value their passwords. It's getting bad when the Head of IT, however, is one of those sticking the password to his desk :(
