Good to hear. MFA should be applied to any and all external access to internal systems, period. Hell we even MFA our internal critical servers. As in if I'm in the office on our secure network, I still have to MFA to access our critical systems.

We finally went to 2FA for email, but not for anything else. It’s a start, but the portal with access to my pay statements, benefit elections, W2, etc is more important to secure than my email so it’s annoying.

Before you even posted it, actually.
It's a very useful study to stress the importance of avoiding incremental password changes.
I will say that expiration is the least important of the various password requirements. Length is the by far the most important from a security standpoint. If I am looking at password configs from a security standpoint, I'd be more inclined to raise the flag on settings that required a 6 character, digits only password, to be changed every 7 days, than I would be a 12 character, complex password, to be changed once a year.
But as stated before, adding one extra requirement, all other things equal, won't make it "easier" to crack, regardless of the incremental increase in strength.

I’d be okay with this.
Our standards are a joke and they reset every 90 days. That’s a bad combo.

Nothing is worse than them making you change it on a Friday and not remembering it after the weekend.

My girlfriend's mom uses some password trick she picked up from some guy on NPR to help her remember. Her passwords are usually like this:
yalacb4881
yalanf4881
yalafb4881
You
Are
Looking
At
(Chase Bank or NetFlix or FaceBook)
And the number stays the same, it's her son's birthday backwards (January 8th, 1984). Maybe not the most secure, but not bad for an older lady IMO

My problem with tigerdroppings
I can access food/drink, travel, OT, Politics etc.
I can't access the UGA and recruiting board without a password.
Is there such a thing as partial accessibility?
Tried to have a new password sent to my e-mail...nothing.

It's harder to accidentally access the UGA board?
That's a feature.

You sir are a prick, and really know nothing about which you speak.
1Password is your friend.
Thank me later.

That IT "cuck" is protecting you from allowing a virus to take down your entire network.
There's been research that says forcing password changes too often is actually less-protective given that users will simplify their passwords and/or store them in an unsecured location.

The reason this is a requirement is that teams like mine get into client networks all the time because 50 morons out of a 500 person company are using "Summer2020!" as their password and just rotate through seasons. It realistically could be a choice between whining about having to use a password that doesn't suck versus having to find another job.
