So that’s an improvement, right?

The irony is the collective IT community has made it so difficult (and often) to change passwords, that the only way is to have a "system", which actually makes it less secure at the end of the day...

The worst was the military though, with 16 digit PW's and all different requirements for caps/special/excluded characters, the only other way to remember your SIPR password was to write it down...

I don't think anyone will be able to crack the code on my "system". I move my keyboard pattern to the left instead of to the right.

Hint: Use 01 as your “number” in your password. Every 90 days add 1 to it so it then becomes 02, 03, .......
You’re good for 99 changes. Most pilots can remember four to five digits for frequency changes so two should be a piece of cake. :)

Back in the day we had "nuclear code keys" that changed digits every 6 seconds or so. Better type fast...

Add in the year with it and it’ll be unlimited through a career (1901, 1902 or reversed order). Ironically, it’s made my password that much more predictable.

We just used Pig Latin. The Rooskies never cracked it. :D

You can use old passwords, you just have to wait two or three cycles before it will accept an old one again. Rinse and repeat.
