Agency asking for laptop log-in details following termination

The password might well be something unmemorable like ApxR5%j4x and held e.g. in some password container app on a phone.

I had a new hire set an ssh key passphrase that seemed to be an entire sentence and then forget it within a minute or two, after I had gone through a laborious manual process to distribute it. He then created a new one which I suggested he record in some kind of password safe. I think he forgot that one within a day or two? After that I didn't bother distributing his key until he requested access to a machine. Needless to say his probation was extended.

I never put any personal stuff on any corporate machines, I merely logon to my citrix server at home and do what I need that way

Don't clients Security policies cover logging in to unauthorised remote stuff or are they so badly written it nor ally won't apply?

I would have thought logging on to something which isnt allowed by the security policy is much worse than having some personal stuff on a works PC?

FTFY

FTFY

But enforcing it would mean you getting caught and walked no?
