Wow! Never expected that this article got such a blast on LinkedIN! Good that so many people appreciate the content and that is helps them to convince their organization to stop frustrating end users and effectively reducing #Security by enforcing 30/60/90 day #password changes.

Finally!!!! Now even NIST states NOT to change passwords periodically or require special characters. Companies frustrate their users; effectively LOWERING security because users want to get rid of that change password screen A.S.A.P. resuling in weak predictable passwords. #Security The whole document is quite time consuming to read (to say it mildly): https://lnkd.in/eBWAeYJH So i conveniently summarized my point in a screenshot. Le me know what you think about this topic. And: Why not enable the #BannedPasswordList functionality when running Microsoft? That eliminates the poorest passwords using a curated list.

Changing passwords periodically is important, but not more important than users having really strong passwords. If you can’t get users to use password management tools, forcing a primary password change too frequently invites user frustration, higher support costs, and user “password pattern-ing”.

Is there a good explainer on all the assorted key based security methods out there? Got a Yubikey and there’s more acronyms than way back when I got A+ certification. (PCMCIA = people can’t memorize computer industry acronyms) #infosec
