A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

My workplace made us change our passwords to have a minimum of 14 characters, including upper and lower case letters, at least one number and one special character, with the 'benefit' being that we only have to change it annually rather than every 3 months. We also have to lock our computers every time we walk away from them, which I have to do 20 or more times a day, requiring entering the password to unlock it. This meme is my version of hell.
This i a very reasonable and good way to handle corporate IT security on the device level. This is how most places should be doing it.
It’s so easy to remember long passwords if you just use full-ass sentences with some random other stuff that relates to your mind. My BitWarden master password is like 32 characters and I can type it in a couple seconds, and if I was in a coma for a year I would wake up and instantly remember it.
The only problem is, it spawned from a funny story in my life that I can no longer tell. Ah well, it’s worth it.
Zero trust framework actually no longer calls for routine password changes, it's considered an ITIL best practice not to now, because it encourages people to write them down. Instead solid MFA for password situations and, properly, getting rid of passwords in the next few years.
But a lot of places are still outdated in this.
I'm not arguing with that. It's more a comment on my typing skill, or lack thereof, and how often I have to enter it.
i work at an IT department where ppl keep complaining about these things. your password WILL be secure and you WILL like it

I guarantee most of the passwords at your company follow the patern of: first letter capitalized of some password they use everywhere, followed by a number, then a special character that is the shift characters on the number row.
If they make you change them ever x months with history going back, they are all incrementing until they rotate back to 1.
Humans created passwords are very predictable.
:sheepish look:
Ours was the same. But they reneged on the 'annual' part.
