That’s the problem with these super strong pwd’s. People no doubt did write them down. Makes it unsafe. I was in IS. Post it notes where not my system at all. It was easy for ME to remember, but impossible to break with just random guesses. But we are getting off topic. PM me if you want to know what it was. ---

I’m not. I’ll gladly show how to create and remember a pwd. And it would never break mine, or yours. Ya just need to know how to do it. You build your own key and the key changes every time your pwd changes. ---

My company has us use Secret Double Octopus and it’s a combination of convenient and infuriating. No more password changes to manage as it’s done for us, but now we must always have wifi to get the password push, otherwise we’re transcribing utterly unhinged massive passwords out of the app. And of course always needing the phone. Which MUST be unlocked with facial recognition AND a once a day password entry. To connect to VPN, after already logging into your computer via this system, we get the SDO push that needs facial recognition and then it gives us a four digit code we have to type into our computer and then we accept another window and then we can work. So it’s kind of a lot. But I don’t have to memorize a password, so that’s good. ---

That’s definitely the LAST think I would want an AI to do, take an unreliable technology and give it the power to decide whether I can use my phone or not?, or if a stranger that can sweet talk the AI can use it?. NOPE. ---

I’m not really sure I follow your question or I missed a joke somewhere… I think the main password is good for 90 days, but it automatically changes after that period. It’s used to log into our computers and connect to our VPN, as well as for “single sign on” to a gazillion internal websites and services. It’s just a multi step process to authenticate who we are. ---
