- InfamousRece 2y agoI worked for a financial company that had 29 day password rotation. One day I accidentally logged in as my colleague. Our user names differed by just one letter so I simply mistyped. It turned out we used the same password scheme to keep up with the rotation and stupid special character requirements.
