We were strictly forbidden from writing down passwords which is why I had forgotten mine.
The password guidelines were absurd and counter-productive. Each word had to be 10 characters long with multiple capital and lower case letters, special characters, and numbers. They were not to include complete words. We were told to compose passwords that matched cute little phrases which we could remember. And, not write them down. Also, each application should have it’s own unique password.
All fine and good when examined from a security point of view but completely unworkable from a human factors point of view. I had ten or fifteen passwords. So I was supposed to compose and remember 10 or 15 unique and cute little phrases? The end result was that people routinely disregarded these rules resulting in a far less secure infrastructure.
