deird1First day of work after my holidays, and I had to change my password again.
The work computers want new passwords every month or so, without using any of the previous 12 passwords, please. As you can imagine, this really stretches your imagination.
Especially because I really can't manage to do the same password with a rotating number at the end - ilovefish1, ilovefish2, ilovefish3, etc - so I have to come up with a brand new password every time.
Recent iterations have included:
Peter Parker
Clark Kent
Buffy Summers
Dawn Summers
Fred Burkle
Tara Maclay
Illyria
Gwen Raiden
(Notice a trend?)
I am now going through Avatar: the Last Airbender with a fine-tooth comb, looking for new password possibilities. Which is fun, because I can imagine Sokka saying things in a sarcastic tone - and somehow that makes them much easier to keep in my head.

Ugh, password changes are the pits. I took to just using the names of pets, with a year I would hopefully remember. Think I only locked myself out once...
