Passkey is the future.

Some studies say that making people change their passwords regularly doesn’t make it safer but I could make it worse because people will start using easier passwords to remember what they used.

Like me… I added a number to my old passwords with all companies I have. My tenure at a company is determined by the number at the end of my password divided by the frequency of the password change :)

Similar. I used the month it was made, the year, and dropped a ! at the end. Turned out a bunch of us were doing the same thing without knowing it. But as long as I met the criteria, I really didn’t care if the firm’s data was stolen. Not my problem.

Most employee passwords are not close to random and are used across multiple platforms. This increases the attack surface for opportunities of a bad actor to comprise.

Keep in mind they need the system to work for the weakest link among thousands of employees as well.

I’ve been working for my State Farm agency as a team member for 2 years. I am licensed in property and casualty as well as life and health, but only make $13 an hour.

My boss also has me running a retired agents office until a new one is chosen (its an hour away with no pay increase or mileage pay). Also, no benefits! Should I start job searching?

I’m helping my GF with excel and need help lol. She works at a hospital and is trying to make an excel schedule for doctors to reserve rooms. She wants drop downs for days of the week (column K) and also different drop down menus in column P for the reserved time slots.

Is it possible to do this with two sets of drop downs (days of week + time slots) and not use index match here? She could make 5 tables for each day of the week, but prefers one table that can be easily navigated by doctors.
