New passwords

I had to call a support team today for a system I access which kept locking me out.

SUPPORT: I need to reset your password for the next 48 hours.

ME: OK.

SUPPORT: Can I reset your password to “password1”

ME: That’s not very secure is it? How about the name of a fruit?

SUPPORT: OK, I will reset your password as “Tomsteel1”

Thankfully the system doesn’t let you use your name as your password and I ended up with something else.

Hello
I am Tom Steel, I live in Sussex and work in digital services in London.
Reading this blog and looking at my photos on Flickr will probably tell you more than a few words here could.
