My home list of passwords includes my home list of security questions, since my answers are fake. But with passwords for a hundred websites...I write them down.

There are government websites I use a couple of times a year. The password requirements turn them into a ‘one use and done’ scenario.

For a while, I worked at a place that assigned us passwords, 16 characters, and changed them every 2 weeks. They gave up when they realized EVERY employee kept the password written on their desk.

OMG! Two weeks???? I've never worked any place that stupid before. Thank God. 30 days was the worst for me, and they eventually gave up and went to 60, which is still way too often.
