Strong passwords are essential, but really strong ones are sometimes not :!:

Mike...
I worked as a temp on IT Support a couple of years back and we had great fun when we saw a password on a sticky removing it, then pretending we were doing something else watching the person come back with their coffee, sit down, and start to look everywhere for their password, only to resort to phoning the IT team two miinutes later, us standing behing them and they wonder why we were giving them a stern lecture.

Another good one was logging in (with the IT Managers discretion and presence) change the password, putting back to the log-in screen and wonder why there password does not work!!!!!
