Davkaus Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 My IT department still force us to change our passwords every 90 days despite it being widely accepted that such policies do little other than encourage people to increment a number and/or write it down. They also route absolutely all of our traffic through the VPN and when I pointed out it'd massively reduce our bandwidth and improve video conference performance to use split tunnelling and only route traffic to internal resources through the VPN, said they couldn't get it working so they stopped trying, so most of us end up having to disconnect from the VPN for every meeting and turn it back on afterwards. Bunch of absolute **** amateurs tbh, it kills me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah mine do this. And insist all passwords are different despite us having about 30 systems (although I don’t think they can enforce this) I write mine down obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote While the concept of passwordless authentication has been around for a long time, the market has just recently pivoted to actively using the technology. Passwordless authentication can use any means of validating the user except for a memorized secret. It could be a QR code displayed at login, an SMS message with a one-time code or a physical USB key, among other examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our old old system, individual computers held that persons work, so passwords locked access to drawings held on that individual computer. As a result, if someone was out on site, ill, on holiday or just in a meeting nobody else could access those drawings. So we all had to share our passwords. Passwords on zip files, that was something one particular Client was keen on. Unique passwords on zips. Chaos was only ever a few days away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I just reject any meeting invite sent to me that clashes if they've not had the courtesy to ask if I can reprioritise. Calendars are public, arranging a suitable time is their problem not mine. My boss thought I was joking when I applied the same rule to him, but he didn't do it again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
