What's in a Password?

Truth to be said, I am one unhappy owner of at least 8 passwords (or so) I needed in order for work to progress smoothly.

And not to forget the tediousness of having to request for my passwords to be reset via 'proper channels', the amount of time it takes to relay from one party to another to finally come a full circle back to me.

Some geniuses came up with password creation policy, which is an oxymoron. Oxymoron. Why you'd ask? Isn't that necessary to ensure that strong passwords are created for maximum security?

Hello there. It works when you have only ONE password to remember.
When you have 8 fancy different passwords, I think people spend more time sending reset ID forms rather than spend it doing what they are paid to do.

Plus, when you keep sending reset ID forms to your boss the whole day to reset different passwords, it only make sense that they get annoyed too.

So, we the concerned employees, will resort to writing them down (on papers, notebooks, STICKY NOTES) and place them on the desk, for convenient reference.

It defeats the security purpose right away, no?

On another note, here are some funny passwords I came across.
It's funny how we are 'guarded' with fancy password creation policy (most of the time obliged to)
They are pretty fed up with it. So fed up with the matter that they get expressive:

User ID: ******66
Password: mangkuk3

*LOL*
