What not to do with your password

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Our hero is called to diagnose a printer issue in an executive’s office. While in the office, another office worker arrives to meet with the executive (who has stepped out for a moment).

Worker: Joe, I need access to [executive]’s Outlook calendar.

Joe: Ask him for permission, and I’ll guide him through the process. (ed.: really, really simple process)

MOMENTS LATER: Executive returns to office.

Worker: [Executive], Could I get access to your calendar?

Executive: Sure, my password is [password].

Joe: *facepalm*

Joe: “Wherever you saved them.”

Stupid user: “I don’t see them.”

Joe: “Where are you looking?”

Stupid user: “In Word.”
