forged's Journal: How many characters in your password ?

From Microsoft KB article 276304:

• Your password must be at least 18770 characters and cannot repeat any of your previous 30689 passwords. Please type a different password. Type a password that meets these requirements in both text boxes." (emphasis mine)

With an infinite number of monkeys, we should manage to type both passwords identical eventually :)

It doesn't matter how long it is because when it comes time to change it people will just add another number to it.

Or write them on a 3x5 index card and keep it under their keyboards like our accountants do.

Those ker-azey Microserfs!

The world would be a much more boring place without them, and their hilarious release-code antics. :)

increased support calls...

My users can't remember our minimum 8 character passwords... we'll never get anything done now. :-)

As if I'm going to tell you.

But I can say with confidence that mine range from 5 to 14 (max NT allows, I think), depending on how important I think the login is.

Have to admit that's a funny message...
