| Too Many Passwords...Not Enough Sticky Notes! |
If you're like most people I know, then I'm guessing you've got passwords up the wazoo. You've got them written on sticky notes stuck to your PC monitor, saved as notes in your Outlook folder, jotted down in your Blackberry, and who knows how many other places. It's no wonder that analysts say more than 30% of help desk requests pertain to password issues...and they cost between $30-$60 per call!
So, let me hear from you! What approach do you take to managing your passwords? Have you successfully managed to keep the same password for all of your accounts? Or have you struggled, like me? Send me an email and tell me your story!
To all you network gurus out there, check out Password Station. It's an ingenious tool that allows network users to create (and reset) a single password that they can use for all the internal business system they access. It supports a long list of operating systems, databases, directories and applications so it can keep them all synched up.
And to everyone else, enjoy this month's newsletter, check out some of the special promotions we've got going, and feel free to drop me a line if I can be of any assistance!
