I have been extremely irritated in past places requiring short passwords that are also constantly changing every few months. The annoyance is exactly why people just start using “august2025!!” type passwords.
Just let me have a monstrously long password and don’t make me change it without a good reason.
Meanwhile, my day job gives a sixteen-character arbitararily generated password every single day. I have no say in what it is.
So I use a quill and a parchment and I carefully note it down on the parchment, which I bought at a renaissance festival years ago, along with the date.
I have literal feet of these passwords, three to a row, in tiny print.
