Thoughts and prayers for Amy, who was forced to change her work password. 
@APBBlue write it down on a post it note. ;)
@APBBlue make sure to tell all of your colleagues, as a backup
@APBBlue tell your organization that the change password policy is seriously out of date
@APBBlue after synopsys bought my company in 2016 (a great deal for all), we were shocked by how out of date and utterly ineffective their IT was. CIO was a blowhard.
@APBBlue BitWarden is your friend.
Life changing.
@dbsalk We have LastPass, but I have to know my work password to get into it. I use 1Password at home.
@APBBlue remembering which number you added to the end is always a struggle.
@vmstan My office is also very strict about password history, which makes it even worse. If I had two I could switch between, it would be easier to remember.
@APBBlue truly a nightmare!
@APBBlue This is why $GODDESS invented Post-Its.
@APBBlue so secure even you can't get in.
@intrepidhero yes, exactly
@APBBlue sometime soon, they’re going to change the minimum length of our passwords at work and I’m never going to be heard from again.
For two weeks prior to a required password change, I used to receive a daily email message counting down the days until I would be forced to change. I set a rule so that those messages go straight to the trash. This year, they upped the number of characters and so I had to make my password one character longer. I wouldn't mind so much if frequent password changes hadn't been deprecated by security researchers 10 years ago.
@APBBlue My deepest condolences to changing your work password.
Always hated the work password change policy...
@APBBlue For the week after they make me change mine, I just pretend that my password contains a backspace on purpose.
@APBBlue Not that your company will care, but requiring periodic password changes is no longer recommended.
"Verifiers SHOULD NOT require memorized secrets to be changed arbitrarily (e.g., periodically)."

@jeridansky Yeah, I know.
