    - Frequent mandated changes are a good way to make me list my passwords where they're more likely to get scraped. - Max Aug 6, 07:48

      - Yes and also writing down passwords and sticking them to your monitor :) -- nm - oblique Aug 6, 06:08 7
        
        All these methods fail if a hacker with eidetic memory poses as a delivery guy and walks through the offices memorizing passwords as people type them -- nm - decline Aug 6, 06:12 5
        
        Heh....seen a few security webinars where this sort of scenario is shown. We can use digital stickies but no physical stickies. -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 6, 06:15

    - I have seen a couple of e-mails about having passwordless access in the future and using PIN or biometric access. -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 6, 05:58 2
      - Yeah. We require two factor for any access off our own computers or network -- nm - oblique Aug 6, 06:01 1
        
        We have two factor on top of our two factor on top of another two factor. -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 6, 06:12
    - yeah, we stopped forcing password changes awhile back -- nm - decline Aug 6, 05:56
    - I wish we'd move to something like this. Get everyone to xkcd-like passwords and let them stay there. -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 6, 05:55 1
      - correct. horse battery staple -- nm - oblique Aug 6, 06:22
  - We have a 90 day policy, but some kind of password change requirement is pretty standard. Especially in the government or working with the government. -- nm - Inigo Aug 6, 05:35 7
    - My IT guy several companies ago said “By all means write it down and stick it to your monitor. I’m not worried about people here knowing it.” -- nm - mafic Aug 6, 05:43 5
      - Yeah, unless you're worried about literal bad guys breaking in to the office or co-workers sabotaging you, I don't see the harm. -- nm - Inigo Aug 6, 05:51 3
        
        If someone would like to break in and hack my computer and work my files that would be swell -- nm - Pippy Aug 6, 06:36
        
        the co-workers are the problem. So many insider threats. -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 05:53 1
        
        He may have said wallet, but it was also a small company. They had plenty of sensitive IP, but I’d be surprised if anyone tried to steal it. - mafic Aug 6, 06:33
      - *heart palpitations* -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 05:50
    - Even though regular password changing does basically nothing to increase system security. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 6, 05:38
Joe Rogan mentioned some anti-paracyt drug for horses to fight covid, its flying off shelves, as FDA and the maker themselves say Whoa, that's bad -- (link) - zeitgeist Aug 6, 02:23 13

  - as effective as swallowing bleach -- nm - Pippy Aug 6, 06:38 1
    - or were we supposed to inject it? I can't recall. -- nm - Pippy Aug 6, 06:38
  - 75% say "neigh". -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 06:16 2
    - and apparently it gives you the trots -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 06:19 1
      - heh - oblique Aug 6, 06:19
  - They mainly want to think they're privy to hidden information, or just smarter than Nancy Pelosi. -- nm* - mara Aug 6, 06:14
