I have those sorts of rules for the password to the student information system here. I have my password written down under my keyboard, because I hardly ever have to log in. Someone would still need my user name, the user name for my department, and the password for my department, so it is still fairly safe. Also, I can't make changes, only look at info. And I can't she SSN's

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've seen two of the shows in that slide show.
I should find some way to swing Macbeth and make it a hat trick.
I've done the polar bear thing before. It was fun, and really exhilarating. Bring a thermos of hot chocolate souped up with whiskey or amaretto or something.
Yeah, this week feels like it's already Thursday. It doesn't help that the timezone hopping for me has been creating really long days.
A thing I do for the fancy passwords is use a 1 in place of an i in a word. Of course, I also have all of my passwords written down on a Rolodex card.
I suppose I should probably change my password now so we don't have a massive buffista manipulation of the S&P Index.
Twins in stupid movie-dom.
Hells, yeah. I watched Spaceballs, Cannonball Run, and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure while making Christmas cookies this year. I'm surprised the cookies didn't turn into dumb-yet-funny pills.

So that's it...
I'm still fumbling with the logic where it is prefered that we use a master account to perform certain tasks "because that way only that account has permission to make those changes, so we'll control who does what." And then 10 of us all have the id and password.

We have a similar logic here with keys to important areas. Somehow it is more secure for one person to keep a key in her desk for us to use to access "secure" areas than to give each person who needs to access the area a key. And then people take the key from the person's desk, lose it, and she is the one in trouble for giving out her key.
