Something I don't understand. Google doesn't require me to change my password every month. My online bank doesn't require me to change my password every month. Amazon doesn't require it. PayPal doesn't require it. Why does every corporate network I've ever used require such arcane password contortions every month that everyone at the company writes their password down on a post-it note on their cube wall?
Paul, those organizations expect you to protect your own assets by changing your password frequently. But you're welcome not to, just like you're welcome not to lock your doors at night if you don't want to.
Your company mandates that you change frequently, because they're protecting their assets, not yours.
Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
Mike Ness auto-awesomed What a weird show. Huge mosh pit full of dude-bros and middle aged dudes (and some badass chick with hemp purse that she never lost) stomping around like the freakin' Bushwackers from the WWF. Met a middle-aged english couple who used to be in the music distributor business who had been at a bunch of the same shows as we had over the last few years.
man facepalm

ReplyDeleteI think non-tech companies all read the same security "best-practices" article. And this article says to change passwords every few months.
ReplyDeleteD'oh!

My password is "Invalid". that way if I ever enter the wrong password, my computer tells me what my password is.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Casey Garske. Tech/security companies make us change passwords frequently too.
