Smieseks ruling of thy IT from the tower.

And the lord of the tower spoke with great vehemence and declared that thy second password shall have 8 not 9 and not 7 but 8 characters no less than and no more shall be it thy number of characters. And in thy characters shall be no special characters such as ( @ $ % # & * ^ !)or any such blasphemy such as thus.

Any co worker who shall try to impose or otherwise invoke the use of more than 8 characters on thy second holy password or shall attempt the use of special characters shall be denied entry unto thy kingdom CCS.

And the coworkers sang and rejoiced at thy dictum from thy tower as thee simple peasants coworkers embraced the wisdom that is thy Smiesk and thy IT department.

Amen.
