“We’ve always done it this way so we’re not about to change”, or a customer somewhere has an audit checklist that mandates password rotations every 3 months.
I know of people stuck with such a moronic password change policy, and the new password can’t be the same as the last five or whatever. So they change the password five times in a row so they can keep using the same password over and over.
This kind of thing makes me so so so depressed about work. It’s overwhelmingly self inflicted suffering for no benefit, and it makes millions of people miserable for nothing.
