Title: Strict passwords
Post by: JamminR on July 28, 2012, 09:22:16 PM
I've been working in various computer IT careers and hobbies for over 20 years now.
Much of it over past few years deals with security; physical/procedural/virtual.

In that time, I've seen/heard/read many IT jokes.
Saw one today I'd not ever seen before and couldn't help but share it;

From the internet;
----------
During a recent password audit by a company, it was found that an employee was using the following password:
"MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"
When asked why the employee had such a long password, the employee rolled their eyes and said:
"Duh, hello! It has to be at least 8 characters and include at least one capital!"
---------

I will now never be able to explain to a customer's upper management the importance of strict passwords without thinking of this.
