Hopefully a larger company means higher pay and a simpler system, including one login for everything.

Yes, I know. Direct care workers can't have nice things.

It's not that. Its the larger your company, the more you're squeezed as a serf.

Yup, as Norma Rae.

I mean, generally it means higher pay, but I'm also guessing you were directing your post at the logon thing

I login to no fewer than five and, on the worst days, ten systems at work. All but four use the same password.

There's a rule on our systems that none can share passwords. I have no idea whether the authenticator can check that across systems, though -- I kinda hope not.

Yeah, it's ****ing annoying. We used to have to create a 20-character password every 90 days for a database we needed to access. In ten years no one in the division ever had to type in their password. To this day I have no idea why we had to creat and change that password.

The funny thing about those kinds of passwords for the average worker is that they have to write it down to remember. Kind of the opposite of being secure.

There's a fantastic paper written about this, maybe ten years ago now, with evidence saying passwords like that are purely security theater and lead to a significant decrease in security integrity. The industry accepted it as definitive. Decisionmakers completely ignored it.

The rules we were given for the new password spec made it really hard to use an actual phrase. Long, a number and a non-number/letter character. It wasn't until the second one where I figured out how to use my old pattern to come up with something I didn't have to write down (and then I retired).

Yeah my hospital org moved to a 15-digit passcode with no character requirements (no caps, no numbers needed, etc.) and it doesn't expire. Research suggests that the more you require updates, the less careful people get. How many people put sticky notes with logins on their monitor? That's totes safe!
