Not such a silly idea though what with much being cloud based nowadays, minimises potential impact when the inevitable data leaks occur.

Not only is there a different one for every system in the shop, but the administrator has also set them to expire every 20 days. AND, when you make up a new one, it has to be at least 10 characters long, combine upper and lower case, must contain at least one numeral, and one special character. AND, it cannot be similar to the original password!

That's a lot of sticky notes!

Software is not getting better, it's getting worse. All of these valuable tech workers are actually complete morons building on top of quicksand foundations.

Changing my password to "Incorrect". That way, if I ever forget it, I just press the enter key. It will come back and say "Password Incorrect". Oh yeah, that's what it was......
