Urgh! Don't get me started on this one... just don't!
It's Friday.... think about that instead.
And get a job somewhere that appreciates you! I am so happy with my new job enviroment. It's great to work with actual humans again.
Mornin' folkses!
I'm one of those people that thinks robust passwords are overrated and often over-robust. We do have some basic requirements, and we recommend all the usual no-kids-names or super easily guessable stuff, and we *recommend* use of long complex strings but we don't strictly enforce it. We only force pw changes every six months.
It's been fun defending our policy in the face of the SOX audits, but I've so far successfully argued that overly complex passwords merely encourage the proliferation of sticky-notes with passwords on them.
