Many years ago, a bar owner shared with me the tale of how he was losing so much money in one of his bars he had to hire a loss prevention specialist to pose as a customer and watch his staff for any signs of financial impropriety.
The undercover customer spent nearly a month visiting the bar (what a job!) and reported back that he found nothing was amiss. He said he watched all the cash registers for four weeks and didn’t see one suspicious transaction at any one of the four registers.
Seems like every few months another blogger or security maven laments the passing of the password, a security tool that has outlived its usefulness and should now be replaced with something more of the times, more effective, more secure.
And while the password might be on life-support, it’s not quite gone. Which means you still have to take it very seriously, because in most cases it’s the only security you may have.
And you should also learn to accept that if the password is mortally wounded, it might be partly your fault. Because we know, we have hard evidence, that passwords have been weakened by their owners.
