Can confirm when I found out I'd be required to regularly change my password the security of it went down significantly. At my current job when I was a new employee I generated a secure random password and spent a week memorizing it. 6 months later when I found out I was required to change it, I reverted to a variation of the password I used to use for everything years ago with some extra characters at the end that I'll be rotating with each forced change...
- byproxy 1y agoWhy not make use of a password manager?
- Aeolun 1y agoYou can’t open the password manager until your computer is unlocked.
- isomorphic- 1y agoYou can put the password manager on your phone or another device.
- denkmoon 1y agoand now you’re violating a different policy.
- connicpu 1y agoI'm not pulling my phone out every time I have to unlock my computer at work. If IT wants my work account to be secure they should change their policies.
- edoceo 1y agoAs discussed here, the policy is from outside the org.
- jimmaswell 1y agoI do the same but write the number at the end of the password on the laptop in sharpie. I work from home so I've been thinking about making a usb stick that simulates a keyboard with a button to enter the password.
