PISS WORDS

Not too long ago, the biggest worries for mankind were hunger,calamities,death,war etc.. gone are those golden days!
The second most fearful thing after death for me is not public speaking anymore. Its now fear of forgetting passwords.
I may sound like i am exaggerating but just look at the list of passwords i have to remember…
1. My mail account.
2. My office computer
3.My laptop
4.My bank account
5.My Railways website account.
6.My office mail account.
7. My office helpdesk account.
8.My blog account.
9. My ultimatix account(its very complex to explain what it is. Lets just say that is my office website.)
and i didnt even mentioned my multiple email accounts, blog accounts!
“What’s the big deal,loser!” you may ask. “whats the worst thing that can happen?
there are always options like “Did u forget ur password?’”.
Yup. There are. But to me, they look like ” u forget ur password yet again, mudhead! Are you positive that u know the alphabets??”. Its a personal problem.
anywayz that list was not an end for me!
you might observe that the contribution of my office to the above list is quiet significant. its not a coincidence. After all, every company’s primary goal is to torture their employees in new and innovative ways.
(now know why i am a loser…!!)
But my company didnt think this was enough. After what i thought an eternity on bench, i got allocated to a proshit.(it u think i misspelled it, think again!). now i swear i have to remember 10 more passwords which are purely work related and highly confidential and critical. even worse, if i mistype the password for 3 times, the respective account gets locked, and it takes an entire day to sort out the mess.
And in the confidentiality agreement i signed, i am sure that there was a condition in a obscure corner that i am responsible for any kind of information leak from my PC.
So, i live in constant fear of forgetting my passwords or losing them.
The ultimate thing that pisses me off is while i select my passwords.
should be atleast 10 characters
mustn’t be easy to guess
should contain Captial and small letters
must contain Numbers and symbols
must change every week( for my work related passwords)
even u should nt remember it after 10 minutes of distraction
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA………..! Isnt there any simpler way??????????
