Fine, as long as I DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE THE DAMNED thing all the time.
InfoSec types should be reminded that computers are supposed to be used by people, and people just aren’t going to change some long passphrase every few weeks or months. I swear that some of my fellow IT folks wouldn’t be happy unless they yanked the hard drives out of all computers, shot them repeatedly with a .50 Barrett, encased them in lead and sank them in the Marinas trench, after physically cutting all the cables connecting the computer to either power or network.
I take my “retired” hard drives apart, and save the fastening hardware and anything else useful. Aluminum spacer rings, for example.
I spent the last 10 years of my military career, part of it in a SIPR/JWICS environment, complaining that the IT folks were making us so secure that we couldn’t do our jobs.

I don’t mind changing it so often, but boy is my dog confused!
