Re: Any IT people with a lot of passwords?

So I’m not the only one with this issue. 😳

I’ve got the same issues with my load of passwords. They have to be changed constantly as well which only adds to my confusion. Being a dinosaur with the use of the computer is still another factor. Add to that I’ve gpt the world’s strangest brain and it seems to function in a totally illogical fashion (those are all my DH’s two cents worth on my brain) and it would seem I’m just about hopeless when it comes to keeping track of my passwords.

I just learned today that I’ve got a new secure site that I’ve got to go to which means yet another password. Argghh! I was already beginning to make plans to ‘hide’ some of my passwords in an easy to find place because the Christmas break will be upon us before long. After any holiday longer than a weekend, I forget even my everyday passwords.

Some days, I just tell myself that if anyone finds my passwords and wants to log onto my work sites, well, they’re welcome to the load of grief and stress that they will find there! Driving home today, I was seriously considering thinking I should find a less stressful job. No pats on the back ever come my way in my line of work. I try to remind myself that there are still occasional times where I derive some personal satisfaction from my job. *sigh*

Password woes are just one more nail in the coffin. I’ve been away from my current work location for 5 years and just returned back to the same building. Even the photocopier needs a code before it can be used. At least that code is assigned to me. When I requested my personal code for the machine, I was told, “Don’t you remember it from before? It is still the same one!”

Really?? I’m supposed to remember my personal photocopier’s code from 5 years ago? The location I was at for the last 4 years required a code for the photocopier, too! A different one!! And I’m supposed to remember my old one from 5 years ago?

Passwords for my secure sites will be my doom.
