I have to assign passwords to employees. **

Rules: Has to start with a letter, has to contain numbers, at least 5 characters, and Can't Be A Word.

I say the above when talking to them, and then I say "It can't be a word, like Panzer1"

What do I get in response?

"Uh ok. How about...:" Sheila25, MamaYaya, and todays requests Bread25 and Starfish16. duh

Dear Lord do people even listen anymore? Maybe I should have Snapchatted the rules.
Normally, I ASSIGN a password and then inform them what it is.
I will use their Initals, and their House Address. PM1005
And then I tell them, "If you can't remember your name, and where you live, then don't even try to sign on to my computers!" hahaha


** I know I have complained about this before. But, it has never stopped.

In my defense, I was left unsupervised...

Years ago I would use "what" so I couldn't forget it. "Hmm, what is my password? Oh yeah!"
Ignorance is bliss. LOL
Passwords are so ridiculous, I can't believe we still use them.

5 characters? We require people to use 14 characters w/ upper, lower case and a number. It can't have any part of their name or badge number. If they login from outside the network they have to use dual factor authentication or call the help desk for a passcode each time. I know most of the nurses know at least 4 or 5 doctors' usernames and passwords.

The road less traveled is filled with fewer needy people.

I think that is a very common thing. It seems there are many doctor's that can't be bothered with many tasks that require them to log in, so the nurses just do the work for them. It helps work flow, but if upper management knew about it they would blow a gasket.

All of my system passwords are based on the names of Roman army legions.

Well that's just a part of it. There's also "Legio" and then the name of the home province. smile
