    Need the opposite costume, the overly eager sys admin.

    • wants to force password changes once a month for security
    • constantly changing security policies to reflect the flavor of the month
    • constantly sends out phishing emails tests, wonders why no one replies to any of his emails

      My fucking uni is trying to move to passwordless, but you will always need a password to log onto any lab device, and to the wifi, so why?

      A website once complained my password contained 3 consecutive letters there were 1 away from each other. This was back when I used sentences for passwords. It was complaining about the word worst because of r-s-t.

        That’s wack. Passphrases are second only to random passwords generated by a password generator in terms of security, character proximity doesn’t matter with that much length.

      Sysadmin: “A clear indication of phishing email is the sense of urgency. We would never send out any email regarding urgent updates that needs immediate action.”

      Also sysadmin: “URGENT!!! You must update your system now before Friday!!! Click link here for instructions! Otherwise you will be locked out!”
