Passwords

  • You must change your passwords regularly.
  • You must never write them down.
  • Never give out your passwords to anyone.
  • Don’t use the word ‘password’ as a password
  • etc etc.

I’ve realised today why it is so important for security to do the above… Once you’ve changed your password, forgotten what it is and locked yourself out of the system then no-one can get into to your stuff. Not even you.

How’s that for secure?

Grrrr.
