Indulging the inner snark safely

Take it out on required password changes. At least 8 characters, one capital letter, one number and one sign.

Annoyed, I began indulging my inner snark. It amuses me. For example:

I hate changing my password for you every three months! = Ihcmp4ye3m!

Stop forcing me to change my password you jerks! = Sfm2cmpyj!

Get me out of the smoke before winter! = Gmootsb4w!

How do you indulge your inner snark without hurting people?

At work we’re up to 12! And weird rules like no two consecutive numers or letters; and no combinations that create a word that can be found in an English dictionary. Maddening..

You’ve given me a fantastic idea!

@BlueWave,

You are welcome, darling. Have fun!

Stop forcing me to think of 12 characters you controlling morons! =

Certain legislators (+ idiot in charge) give me ample passwords. Also, certain religious taboos (666) are also ripe.

Haha this reminds me of when I was so aggravated trying to get into an account that I change a pe to include the letters PITA!

Thank you for an alternative to hurting people.

Absolutely love those!!! It was worse when I was in active duty, the military sites I needed access to required monthly changes at times. I just wish more sites and apps just let you use biometric logins instead!!

@bohical369

Thank you.

Interesting idea. Unfortunately, face identification has been circumvented by scanning a picture of the person instead.

I've seen this at least five times. Each time I read it as "Indulging the inner SHARK safely".

I really REALLY need to stop speed reading.

@Kiramea

Hilarious! As a kid, I was a voracious speed reader.

"Damn Fresh Milk" I read on the milk carton. "That's weird," I thought. "Swearing on a milk carton."

It was "Dawn Fresh Milk," I realized later.

I love this idea. I'm already thinking up future passwords.

I can use this. Beats sitting there staring at the keyboard drawing a blank. Thanks.

@MiltsterD

No kidding! Beats staring blankly at the keyboard. Glad you like it.

Wait. There's "inner snark"???

My understanding has always been that snark isn't really snark, unless it's shared.
I'm a giver.

@KKGator

I used to worry my thoughts would appear over my head, like a cartoon thought balloon.

If people knew what I was really thinking.

One approach, don't worry about other people and be snarky.

Easy for you to say. My account was suspended for snark.

@Countrywoman I didn't say it was a good approach, now did I? LOL

Level 8

If they ask me to use a password with 8 or more characters I use Snow White and the 7 dwarfs

Unfortunately my snark is pretty much always out in the open.

I used "Ih8myf*job"
"Pas$w0rd"
Most of the time though, I just let it out.

"I hate my f-cking job" is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.

You just gave me a great idea.
