Goes against every single good practice possible. A strong password is far better than a password you change weekly then memorize.Zaune wrote:That wouldn't be unusual if he's handling confidential information; when I was working in a call-centre we had to change ours weekly because we were often handling payments, which meant logging credit card numbers.spaceviking wrote:Not my work, and Not really a conversation...

I dare say you're right, and I wish it was the most annoying thing about the computer system I had to work with at that place.

Hey, still better than using the office's address as the bank password for multi-million dollar corporate accounts. Yes, that actually happened, and yes, I complained, and no, nobody listened.LaCroix wrote: Especially since most people still use the same password, they just add a counter to the end...
Yeah. Anyways, this is what I got:madd0ct0r wrote:that happened to me a fortnight ago. still seething.
I will probably dual boot Windows on it, indeed. But why in the world would I want to "spite" a guy who puts me in 5-star hotels, invites me to thousand-dollar dinners and gives me free laptops?LaCroix wrote:Format the drive and install windows/linux/ubuntu/*yourchoice* on it, just to spite your boss
