“Your password must be at least x characters; cannot repeat any of your previous x passwords; must contain capitals, numerals or punctuation; and cannot contain your account or full name. Please type a different password. Type a password which meets these requirements in both text boxes.”
Yes, it’s that time of month again, where I retrieve the post-it note from under my keyboard, and write my NEW password down on it.
So we now have the illusion of security, while not actually having it. Which is a reason why, when your computer is seized, they’ll take the surrounding items as well.
I laughed until I cried when I saw this:
The security section of my company said you should change your password once every three months. After I chaged my password sometimes I forgot. A system locked.

Thanks for calling by Lucy. It varies, I’ve seen periods from 14 days to never. Depends on what is being protected. And the risk that someone will write their password down if it is a short interval.
