Perhaps I really am getting old and cranky but computer “security” is really out of hand.
I’ve got about a thousand passwords, they all need to follow different rules, they all expire and need to be replaced. Tech support never helps worth a damn. And I most emphatically DON’T feel that these systems are at all secure. The passwords don’t really help me. They just make my life difficult.
We should have ID cards that can be slotted into machines, retinal scans, and 4-digit PIN numbers that never change. One method of access for everything. Including voting machines.

They are called ‘DEBIT CARDS’!!!!! Lol!

Nowadays they can just implant an RF ID chip under your skin and...oh, wait...
After I prove who I am I invariably say to them, just for future reference, IF ANYONE CALLS you wanting to pay money on my debt, don't ask who they are, just accept the money. Dolts.

Have you heard of “forgot password” link on any website where you are trying to sign in ? All you really need to remember is 1 password, your email password. With that link, you can have an email sent to you so you can reset the password.
#4 This is why you need to have a chip implanted....
DoD uses smart card auth w/PIN. Its what I use at work.
I also use password safe as my passwod repository.
