I just make up a moderately long sentence that sounds retarded.
WHAT THE FUCK, I JUST FUCKING CHANGED THE PASSWORD.

really no #?

What are you doing Anon?
>Must not be a password that you’ve already used
It's like you don't care about security
Just fucking use Keepass. It's not hard.
What's annoying is when they limit you from having certain characters in your password, like spaces or certain types of punctuation. It's like they're trying to intentionally decrease entropy.

If I were a cracker, brute forcing passwords would be super easy with instruction manuals like this.

fuck.
you.

Oh look, plaintext passwords.

At some point I wondered why the fuck we didn't have smartcard authentication instead of this bullshit, but then I remembered that the sysadmin in charge was a fucking faggot with napoleon's complex that constantly needed to show his epenis status.
>>51300326
>in your browser
I don't think you understand the technology, Anon.
>>51300633
Admittedly, without the budget for smart cards most of these are good security practices, including
>mfw everyone had notes to some extend with passwords on them
Aside from
>required usage of special characters, mixed upper and lower case, longer than 16 characters
And what good would the IT department be if there's no password reset?
>>51299716
I be mad too if I didn't have a nose. Angry breath holding.

You should read more about password managers anon
>>51300281
Or they just pull your name from the db and test it before encrypting the password.
>>51299716
but dude if you can't figure out your own password it just means it's that good
>>51299716
>your password is too long
god fucking dammit, what they fuck do these shit services like paypal think a password is even for
also this thread needs a trigger warning. these peoples idea of security is to force you into a bubble with only so many options which ends up making password cracking just as fucking easy
>>51299716

Fucking kill yourself, and barring that, fucking write them down in a place you won't forget like a normal person with a fucking brain.

Do you not cipher your passwords and keep them on a txt file?
My password is always 'slashgeeslash'
Is lastpass secure enough? Compared to keepass ?
Use song lyrics and replace spaces with special characters. Be thankful they don't force you to use non dictionary words. Or use keypass
>>51302517
if you think about it, you're literally storing your passwords for each site in a centralized area. You're making the job of cyberattackers even easier

Fuck this. Seriously, why can't we stop this for systems that password lockouts. If I have another windows admin telling me this is best practice they get a kick in the vagina.
Meanwhile in network land there are systems that have shared/unchanged passwords that and dictionary words.
Also fuck 30 day limits. Decreases security on everything. Password resets are too common and IT just pushes them through. You have people with six character passwords because it is something like:
passw0rdJan
passw0rdFeb
passw0rdMar
Fuck you OP. Fucking triggered
>>51301691
Your methods are wrong and also I don't like you
>you have been using your password for 30 days

basically this, every time.

can't use keepass to log into my workstation.
jesus that a over a guy on jewtube has a video about passwords, but this thread is way more entertaining

keepass + keefox saves the passwords in an AES encrypted database instead of plaintext in a browser window that's easily accessible
>>51299805
>having your password saved somewhere

looks like someone wants an easy way tu brute force a lot of password.
>>51299805
But what if I want to access the webzone later from a different place/computer?
>>51299716
pffff
at least your password doesn't need to include a plot, a protagonist with good character development, a twist & a happy ending
What was the name of the password manager that became botnet recently?
>>51299716
Just log in with facebook friend :^)
