    Been working at ClientCo for almost 6 months...never been prompted to change SSO password.

    Not like previous ClientCo....30 something ID's changed every month, some with really dodgy password criteria.

    Being forced to change passwords is a weakness. They are too hard to manage.

    My (work) passwords can usually be found on a post-it note on my screen.

    Too many

    As a result of not being arsed to change them I now have no access to my internal email account or the ticketing system for the IT support monkeys

    not that I'm bothered of course... both were major conflicts with IR35

    Some 20 systems at curent client but their password policy is a bit a joke here, windoze is a change every 3 months but majority of other systems have not been changed since the day they were installed

    We have SSO - but I have 31 others! I dread to think what like without SSO - 36 or so?

    Not the current client, but the mostest ever was above 20. Fortunately for anything on the PC, there was a smart card system which could remember the passwords for each application, otherwise it would have been much higher.

    Current client has password changes enforced every two months. No single sign-on so that means 18 seperate password changes to do.

    How many systems do you have to change your passwords on at current client?
