It was not that bad at my dad's work. However, he would have to change his password once a WEEK, it had to have at least one capital and 1 number and a password could not be repeated for a year.

He would hang the 49ers team picture on his wall and start from the first guy in the first row and work his way through the picture until the next years picture came out (i.e. "Montana16", "Rice80", etc.)

I used to work for a company that required you to change your password once a fortnight, you couldn't use a password that had already been used (I don't know if there was a time limit on this I was only there a year).

Anyway the upshot of this was that if you wanted to log onto someone elses PC you just went to their desk and either found a post-it note on their monitor or in their top drawer.
