I got hacked by my own IT department. Followed by a lecture email about proper password picking practies.
o_O
i would kindly reply to them that if the system allowed you to set it as a password that it clearly is within the company password parameters and to have a nice day...

The best part is that they are likely monitoring this thread now. Erica, tell us how you really feel about them? Dorks!

Our IT manager has her network password in the top drawer on the left hand side of her desk, in a little book.

How to create an easy to remember, hard to guess password:
Everyone has a favorite song or poem. For instance, let's say that your favorite song is Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven". The first line of that song is "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold." Take the first letter of each word, and you get "Talwsatgig". That's a good start for a password! It's ten characters long, and it's easy to remember, as long as you know the first line of the song. However, it only uses small and capital letters, so let's add more.
When you were a kid, you may have played around with a simple code, in which a=1 and b=2, all the way to z=26. Here's another one that a lot of people sometimes used: a=@, b=6, e=3, i=1 (or !), l=1 (or l=!), o=0, s=5 (or s=$), t=+, and so on. Basically, you match the letters to a number or symbol that they sort of resemble. You can do this however you'd like, using whatever makes the most sense to you. If we do that, and then apply these substitutions to the password we've been developing, we get this: "T@1w5atg1g". Now that is a great password!

I used to have a butcher as a customer - they kept having online trouble due to not understanding the whole idea of using a capital, lowercase, number, AND special character. I reset their password to 100%Kosher and they had no more troubles...

IT and management are liking LastPass, which I'm sure people will end up writing down their "master login" info on a post-it anyway, and then I can suddenly access everything just by stealing one piece of info...but hey, that's their problem I guess!

Some folks here have a 'master spreadsheet' with all their logins. They password protect that spreadsheet and then use it to track/retrieve all their other passwords.

Last pass rocks, but you have to use a very secure master password. It has become impossible to remember the 20+ passwords I need since they all have different parameters.
