My current employer has the worst password policies of anywhere I’ve ever worked. I hate it. It’s insane. I know I can install a password manager, but the one that’s approved isn’t the one I want to use so I just suffer.
I’ve been in tech for decades now, so the above statement (worst ever) is truly horrific to me. Especially given that the job is so great otherwise and I don’t want to move on.
Must have lowercase, uppercase, numbers, symbols, minimum of 5 chars, max of 8. No dictionary words, no reusing characters (one char instance only), no numbers in order (123), no letters in order (abc nor qwe), nor in descending order (987, mnb). Caps lock is a unique character that must be used. Password expiration every 28 days. Cannot reuse old passwords, remembers last 10 passwords. Cannot add a number or letter at the end that causes an ascending or descending pattern. Password field cannot be pasted into.
That pretty much narrows it down to MonthYear!
