Imagine if the password was “Password_1” the entire time.

Me: “I wish we had SSO and 2FA.”

Corporate IT: “We have SSO and 2FA at home.”

The SSO and 2FA at home: everybody logs in with the same username and password, and it doesn’t set cookies so you have to do it constantly

Sounds more like everyone used [realname][number] as their password because IT decided that changing your password every couple months is the most “secure”. Even though it’s not and causes [realname][number] passwords in the first place.

The adrenochrome factory made me do some shit like that so I started keeping a sticky note with the log in name and password on the monitor and the password for some other system in a clear text .txt file in the documents tab titled “[other system] password”

There may have been some password expiration set for the windows users, but I’m referring specifically to their database. My trainer literally told me that although I could change it if I wanted to, nearly everyone kept the same default password.

honestly based. everyone should have insecure passwords when working for a corporation. you should also message your local hacker group that the corporation is vulnerable

Setting unreasonably complex “strong password” requirements and making everyone choose a new password every three months to social engineer the use of sticky notes on screens
