Pasword woes !
I always wondered how long does it take to get accustomed to a newly changed password ! Its mandatory that we change passwords at work every 90 days and we dont have control over the new password and the tool generously gives a combo of all possible permutations which are difficult to register.

I usually choose passwords which have a sequence and not having too many mixes of Capital and lower letters with numbers, some of my earlier passwords are nhhto525, madd78YL, 3Vaeqcmx etc, unlike some like these, qHqgrYb8, LtoH8aJk, JEfECf62 which are hard to type out in the first place.

The first week after I change my password, I never get the password right in the first attempt, I usually type the older password and I keep instructing my mind to train, to the new password. And then the pattern gets registered after few days. I also observed that, in such cases when you dont choose the password yourself, and when somebody officially needs to use your machine, you cant spell your password to them, I can spell all my personal email id passwords, but I cant spell nor sms my work password, bcos I need the keyboard to rework on the sequence of letters ! Hmm.

Now, today I changed my work password and I am away on a long leave, this is the first time, I mailed my own password ( to a personal id ), bcos I am sure I am not going to register this that soon !
