Must Discuss the Kitties' Welfair

I hate, hate HATE those companies that not only require a certain number of characters, but refuse passwords that are recent repeats of past passwords (like 20 passwords back, or won't allow consesequitive letters, or common words, or anything at ALL easily memorable - no wonder I can't ever get into the same place twice. *What the heck do they care if I get "hacked", that's *NY* problem, and besides, the passwords I use and remember couldn't possibly be figured out by anyone but me and *maybe* Ben. *Who the hell are they to tell me what's a proper password for me??!! /password rant I come up with passwords that mean something to me, but are not normal names by themselves. And then I send myself an email with my username and password hint. The hint makes perfect sense to me, so I don't have to include the actual password. It could be a letter and the # sign, and I know what name and number that is. It could be old goal or new goal, and I know what that means. At work, I keep it very simple as 3 of use the same account, and I really doubt somebody wants to hack into the deli department account. So I have an easy word, punctuation, and a number, and the number goes up by a specific number every time it requires a password change. That way, the other clerks can easily guess the new password if they find it has changed. I also like to answer security questions wrong, so that I know the correct answer, but it isn't easily obvious. For example, I don't use my sister's middle name for that question. I use somebody else;s middle name. I don't use my first pet, etc. |
