Perfect finish! I get the same crap from my university, which tells me I need a new one every three months and has to adhere to all those conditions.

Just when I’ve come up with the perfect password that meets standard complexity requirements I find one site that wants me to dumb it down to something less complex. Yes, I know I’m supposed to have different passwords for every site on the planet but I’m old, OK?

On a somewhat related note, I updated Android on my phone late at night and didn’t read the contents of the update. When I went to turn it back on, it gave me the customary ‘enter passcode to start Android’, yet entering the passcode that I set gave me a ‘wrong PIN’ error.
I ended up using a backup phone, and I’ve been too lazy to reboot it, or do something else, for the past week.

Passwords are a pain in the ass. If only the world weren’t so full of assholes who steal things, we wouldn’t need them. I played a gig at a church yesterday, and somebody went into the choir room during the service and stole a bunch of purses. Asshole.

I have a system for passwords so that I can look at the site I’m logging into, and decode my password from there. But the problem is, some sites REQUIRE a special character, while other DO NOT ALLOW ONE. So, I can’t even have a system that works all the time. But this all wouldn’t be a problem if one thing were different: when you enter a password (let’s say I use my standard coded password with a special character and I’m on that one site that doesn’t allow them) it doesn’t say, “Hey you can’t use special characters in your password” it just says “incorrect password” and I end up typing in my password 3 more times, more carefully each time, thinking I got it wrong. Then I get locked out of my account.
Thanks for nothing, internet.

Using the year, make and model of a car is a good password, and easy to remember.

At church? That takes a special kind of prick.
