PASSWORD'S

When I was younger I had passwords that ranged from the name of boys I had crushes on to random things like Cool Tools82, Talons68, Chicken Moo11 and so on. I made sure no one would ever figure out my passwords!

My passwords now are a little more sophisticated.

Now I have about 10 or so different passwords. They get more and more complicated!

* CAPS, non caps, symbols, numbers*

Whats next? Will I have to write on the keyboard upside down or lick the screen for DNA verification?

WHAT I do know is what NOT to use as passwords at work.

~You think you know but you have no idea....True story~

A few years ago with my old employer I was out sick for a few days and I get a call from my manager.

I

It went something like this

Phone ringing

"Do you think your better off alone.....do you think your better off alone?"

[THIS WAS MY RING TONE AT THE TIME]

Mady: ::Cough cough:: Hello

l

Manager: HI Madelyn , I am sorry to bother you I know you are sick but we are all locked out of the system and we need you user name and password in order to access the site

{PAUSE}

i

Mady: OK...let me see if I remember it (An attempt to stall bc I knew my password very well)

{PAUSE}

i

Mady: My user name is Mady123

{PAUSE}

i

Mady: And my password is

{PAUSE}

i

Mady: I....H...A...T...E...M...Y...J...O...B...69

{CRINGE}

i

--MADY TO SELF: "Holy F BOMB!!!"

i

Manager: Ok lets give it a minute

i

--MADY TO SELF: "OH YESSSSSSS! They didn't catch on to what those letters spell...sweet

i

Manager: Repeat the password so I can write it down in case we need it again

i

MADY TO SELF: "Faaaaaaaaack!"

i

Manager: You know what never mind we are in won't be needing your info anymore. Feel better and you are the best employee in the company :)

i

TRUE story people...ok I made up the part about my manager saying I was the best employee in the company, but I know he was thinking it!

SO word of advice when creating passwords

Stick to things like:

GODisGreat48

Blessed444

I_Love_My_Job

Employed4Lyfe

And stay away from things like:
