    How many systems do you have to change your passwords on at current client?

    Current client has password changes enforced every two months. No single sign-on so that means 18 seperate password changes to do.

    Not the current client, but the mostest ever was above 20. Fortunately for anything on the PC, there was a smart card system which could remember the passwords for each application, otherwise it would have been much higher.

      We have SSO - but I have 31 others! I dread to think what like without SSO - 36 or so?

            Some 20 systems at curent client but their password policy is a bit a joke here, windoze is a change every 3 months but majority of other systems have not been changed since the day they were installed

                Too many

                As a result of not being arsed to change them I now have no access to my internal email account or the ticketing system for the IT support monkeys

                not that I'm bothered of course... both were major conflicts with IR35
                now they HAVE to use my own companies email address and any support stuff I get a permie to raise a ticket for me.

                  With ours, 8 characters, mixed case, including at least one number or special character, and checked against both dictionary words and d1ct10nary words.
