Why we don't change our passwords
Sep 5, 2019 14:51:14 #
Today I opened a new online banking account, I always use the same password: "cabbage". It's easy to remember. But it seems the computer had other plans...
Please enter your new password:
"cabbage"
Sorry, the password must be 8 or more characters.
"boiled cabbage"
Sorry, the password must contain 1 numerical character.
"1 boiled cabbage"
Sorry, the password cannot have blank spaces.
"50bloodyboiledcabbages"
Sorry, the password must contain at least one upper case character.
"50BLOODYboiledcabbages"
Sorry, the password cannot use more than one upper case character consecutively.
"50BloodyBoiledCabbagesShovedUpYourArse,IfYouDon'tGiveMeAccessnow”
Sorry, the password cannot contain punctuation.
“ReallyPissedOff50BloodyBoiledCabbagesShovedUpYourArseIfYouDontGiveMeAccessnow”
Sorry, that password is already in use!

It still gives me a chuckle, even though this must have been a hundred times on this forum.

The problem with a password like that is you will forget it. And, after three BLOody attempts, you get locked out. DAMN! Ya just can't win!

Ah yes, passwords. After many frustrations I wised up.
I have an address book exclusively for passwords.
Capital letters have an underline, number zero have vertical line through them.
Answers to security questions, another problem. Lol

I did that also.
Because of the need to change passwords every so often I ran out of writing space.
So now I use wordpad.
Now I can edit my passwords until the cows come home,
without any hockey pucks to muck up my pages. :-)

That's a good idea, but where do I put the OTHER 300 stickies? My screen is already too small. LOL

My password contains caps, lower case, numbers, and character that have personal meaning to me that others would never guess.
