slo’s MONDAY 6/30 poll - Passwords

[leebee]

No specific system other than the auto-fill feature on my operating systems both at home and work. I rely heavily on the little “remember me” check box on a lot of programs/websites. This is probably a terrible idea and I have a feeling it may come back to haunt me. Sorting out something more reliable just hasn’t gotten to the top of my endless list of non-urgent things needing attention yet.

Spin-off question: Does anybody here ever actually log off of the DIS?

No. The only time I log off my email, facebook/messenger, weather channel or the DIS is when I have to shut down my computer for some reason!

I'll admit most of my passwords are the same or very similar to each other.
I'm sorry but I'm not going to constantly change them and make them hard.
They are easy for ME to remember but I doubt many people would easily figure them out. Its not like its 123456 but they are that easy for ME to know.

I have started keeping track in my notes app along with my mom's passwords because she never remembers hers lol.

I mostly use a password manager that our security team highly recommended. For some passwords I keep a notebook that has a system that I know and no one else would likely see the password.

 

[kdonnel]

I don't know any of my passwords.

I use a password manager and let it set complex passwords that are unique for every site.

A typical password looks something like: 42I%OuapWNh!8Q(k&I$£

I also have MFA enabled on any site, this one included, that allows MFA to be enabled.

I am organized with my passwords. Way too many to memorize, between three computers, three tablets, two phones, and all the assorted apps and websites. I prefer not to say how I organize them, but I have shared the information regarding where they are kept with my next of kin for when I am no longer here.

No I never log off. Ironically I can have troubles remembering what I ate over the weekend but I can STILL remember my DIS password the DIS generated for me years and years ago and it's just a bunch of letters; some capital some not.
