Passwords Frustrate Me

Jim Bauer @porwest (112844) • United States 22 Dec 23

I get why passwords are important, don't get me wrong. And I am pretty good about coming up with a password that well, you'd have to know a very deep secret about me to even come close to what they are. Not bad secrets, mind you....

Four Walls @FourWalls (86654) • United States 26 May 21

One thing I don't do on a "regular basis" is change passwords. It's never "on a Sunday" or "the 15th of the month." I basically change 'em when I feel like it, every 1-15 weeks. Well, I felt like it tonight, given that we...
