I feel like there is a flash mob thing gearing up on Michigan Ave right now (bunch of disparate people carrying the same things and lining up equidistant on a side street.) To which I can only say, today is not the day, folks.

He informed me that that had been a social engineering project. That man hadn't actually been from IT. I had given him my password. I had failed.
Oh! We had that as an example in a security training we just did!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Our IT never asks for our passwords (or they haven't yet!) and yet, I would totally give it up, I bet.

I've been asked to stay logged in so IT can work on my machine after-hours, but I'm pretty sure if they needed my password they'd just reset it to abc123.

IT has asked for my password plenty of times when they needed to configure my computer or something, so I thought nothing of it. It was always someone I knew, though. Now we're a growing company and who knows who's over there?

IT has never asked for my password. That's what the admin password is for.
The closest I've ever gotten to that is when they have me log in and then they access my desktop remotely.

Yeah, either they log in with the admin password, or have me do it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
IT has never asked me for my password either. I assume they have magical admin access.

Argh - why don't people RSVP? I have a confirmed 8 but possibly 13 kids coming to Dylan's party on Saturday, which is incredibly annoying because party favors come in 12-packs.
[My plan for now is to buy enough for 13 kids but not open them all, so if less than 12 kids are there I can return the unopened stuff. It doesn't take that long to throw a few sheets of stickers into a party bag.]

IT asks for my password occasionally. But we're a small enough organization that I know all of them. If a stranger came to my cube asking for my password, I'd probably check in with the IT manager before giving it to him/her.
