    In my first job I had like 7 different passwords to access different systems. Each one had different schedule of password reset. They each ended up being on a different reset schedule. I had to reset a password once or twice a week.

    Yeah, everyone had their passwords on a sticky note on their monitor. I once got praise for being the one person without it. I of course had an abreviation for the system with what number series the password was on posted on my monitor.

      I had a passkey card where each letter was given a random sequence of uppercase, lowercase, a number and a symbol. With just a four letter word as they key you had a 16 digit random password that was hard to guess even if you had the key sheet.
