And Leo is still podcasting and has a few columns, I think.

I enjoy his work with Steve Gibson.

And I'm still angry about someone using my restaurant points to order a couple baskets of wings.

Think how i feel, they weren't even that good.

Locked the exwife out of the Master Password for the System with UoyKcufSoySauce. 20+ years ago.

Heard through the grapevine that they ended up pulling the Battery out of the Motherboard for 24 hours to clear it back to Factory that was blank (no characters) after spending 2 weeks trying to get it figured out.

All the &!tc}{ had to do was admit to all of our friends and family that she cheated.

Hahahahaahaha

I can’t remember the dog’s name some days and you think I’m going to remember which character I changed to “$”. I agree with your pass phrase suggestion, but I don’t trust myself to remember. I’ve lost that bet too many times. I have 2 address books that I try to remember to write them in.

I work in cybersecurity. You’d be mortified to know what sort of shortcuts are taken, esp. with passwords, on systems that are housing information on a LOT of people.

I use a password manager, so I only have to remember one pass phrase with those substitutions.

My password manager probably has 200 or more accounts. It’s all so annoying…just like TSA at the airport. We waste so much time defending against the bad guys.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Nice!

I do too but it has been my experience that updates can play funny with them. Like have them for a snack and they disappear. So I stopped relying on it to be my sole storage.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I use a popular one and also started using the somewhat new Apple pw storage system. I really like the simplicity of the Apple design. So I’m using two now.

My commercial one is not 100% rock solid which worries me. The company has been sold once which is also worrisome.

[Chode]

LOL...

[Scrambler Bob]

They should have used a stronger password and then pasted it on 200,000 sticky notes stuck to the undersides of keyboards
= = =

Our fired secretary did that.

She left: “SubmitObey”. It worked.

The most important password protection is to name your new puppy with a truly original name.

;-)

[grame]

Past 70, no new pups here. But I agree, that was a part of our plan years ago.

[moovova]

Mine is:

********

A lot of people use that. Like when the cashier lady comes over to the self-checkout cash register to correct something I’ve screwed up. She punches in...********

[Valpal1]

Lol, nope.
