Passwords suck. REALLY suck. I have no less than four to get my computer programs up, and they change at different intervals. The first time they told me to change my password it was suggested I make it hard to guess. It worked... I couldn't remember it. Then I opted for a slightly easier one. My latest one is a bit longish... which sucks when your computer program locks every five minutes of inactivity.

I've seen a few people post their passwords for all to see. Yeah, that makes sense. My boss actually asked me to write the directions on one of the programs' passwords in our glossary. Riiight. She also asked for us to each give her our password. I politely declined. She got annoyed until the magic word got tossed around. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). It's a catch all for nosy people and pushy managers. If only we had a word like that for idiots.

I hate sites that make me change my password! I have a good and hard-to-guess password, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, and I don't need YOU to tell me to be more SECURE. BAH.
