New passwords

Technology, Work April 11th, 2005

While I appreciate them from a security-hat point of view, being forced to change a password is annoying. When CITES expires your NetID password once a year, they send you emails as a warning. A few days into that warning, they interject a notice screen on any bluestem protected apps after you login. I bounce around so many bluestem protected pages in my day, the extra click really bugs me, so I broke down and changed my password. I hate how slow it is to type a new password the first week or so you use it. But, hey, I’m safe!
