They can they just have to wait. At my previous role I added a number and kept increasing until it accepted the orginal password and I started the cycle again.

- 52-6F-62 7y agoI've done something similar with a role but alphabetical. A-Z, then AA-ZZ, AB-ZA and so on.
- Sylamore 7y agoBecause of minimum age rules, I just spell out the number if I can't recycle the old password yet. One of the reasons I don't do IT security any more is the attachment to old dogma like these kinds of password rules by auditors - they are the real barrier to making policies more effective.
- klyrs 7y agoI never wrote my password on a post-it on my screen. The post-it had tallies of the number of times I'd incremented the number at the start, and the number at the end. And I worked on my IT department, and then went over their heads, until they got smart about password expiration.
