It's almost work password reset day which means for the next week I will be typing the wrong password at least 10 times a day.

@colinwalker we’re on a six-week cycle and it’s basically two weeks of entering the wrong password, two weeks or comfortable use, and two weeks of dread knowing I have to change it again soon.

@jonkit

We’re on a 90 day cycle so don’t have to come up with new passwords as often but it means reprogramming the muscle memory is a real pain. Most people just tend to use the same password and increment the numbers at the end – if they enforce a policy requiring a certain number of characters to change then we’re all screwed 😉

@colinwalker @jonkit my client requires a password changes every 30 days. I think I'd lose it if I didn't use a password manager.

@khurtwilliams on the bright side, you’d have to (or at least I would) solely rely on the password manager all of the time so you’d never switch in and out of that mode

@jonkit yes. I 100% rely on the password manager. It’s a good one, too. 1Password.
