Irish Password Protection

During a recent PASSWORD AUDIT at the Bank of Ireland it
Was found that Paddy O'Toole was using the following password:

MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofyDublin

wtf

When Paddy was asked why he had such a long password: he replied
''Bejazus! are yez flamin' stupid? Shore Oi was told mi password had to
be at least 8 characters long and include one capital'' Razz

Don't ever think you can outwit the Irish!

Cheers, Vince

I despise passwords so much, I often don't join a new forum or group because I just can't stand to have to keep track of one more. Passwords drive me crazy at work. Some change in 30 days, some 45, some 60, 64, and 90 days. Even though we are logged onto our company computer system with a password, we can't get into other systems without another password. Each adminstrator makes their own rules about special charactors, capitals, numbers, etc. Some require special charactors and others don't so I can't even have some commonality that I can remember. Drives me mad!!!!!!

Hey Slim...a little notebook in the top pocket goes a long way to relieving the password woes mate.

I kept one myself, and had all my passwords written down in it, and included the date I changed the password so I knew where I was up to at any given time.

If'n ya don't trust ya top pocket mate...put it under lock and key with a combination lock securing things...just another number to remember. Laughing

Cheers. Vince

against company policy! I even found out yesterday that another worker in finance was monitoring how I entered my time records and informed me that I was in violation of company policy!

Is he supposed to monitor access, or is he doing it because he can? Was he being officious, or just letting you know?

If he was being officious, I would have a whisper in his ear about his manner and attitude...and remind him that you could always shove ya hand down his throat, grab his butt from the inside, then turn him inside out.
