        I hate sites that make me constantly change passwords. it's been shown time and time again that making users change passwords often decreases security by a pretty large factor, and yet a lot of sites still do it

                OPNsense is also a viable alternative.

                Tried that for awhile at home, just didn't seem as robust. Also, you can get Netgate hardware if the company doesn't want a 10-yo Dell running the edge.

                  My boss went so far as to buy Macs because we have "special needs" (we don't) because otherwise we'd be forced to use the corporate locked down crap. I'm not a big fan of macos (prefer Linux), but root access sure is nice.

                  I had to move to a Mac because of iOS development. Now I'm stuck with a Mac because the fucking thing refuses to break.

                        I've had opnsense running for 7 years without a single issue. It might be the most reliable part of my whole setup.

                          Interesting, stopped seeing this a while back. Forced change after the inevitable hack though of course

                            It's not more secure, it's so they can offload blame and have people to sue if/when something ugly happens. Liability control, essentially.

                            We had to pay for fucking Docker container licenses at my last job because we needed an escalation to the vendor in case our SMEs couldnt handle things (they could), and so we had a vendor to blame if something out of our control happened. And that happened: we sued Mirantis when shit broke.

                              Our workplace did that. You had to change every month and you weren't allowed to just add a digit. It meant that people started writing their passwords on post-its stuck to the monitor.

                              Mind you, back in the 90s your password was the same as your username. It was very handy, because if someone went home leaving a document locked, you could just log in and unlock it. Our first "proper" IT professional was horrified.

                                  And don't forget required 2-factor authentication, in an age where that becomes 1-factor authentication as soon as someone has your phone, because both factors are accessible there!

                                  2FA is utterly worthless in the age of smartphones, and whenever my employer tries to implement it, I refuse and tell them that, if they want me to do 2FA, they can either provide me with a work phone, or they can give me a USB key that is just going to sit in my desk drawer.

                                    which still requires someone to swipe the phone and the owner not recognizing it long enough to do a remote wipe. I am not someone who hangs on the smartphone 8 hours per day, and even i would realize my phone is gone within 15 - 30 minutes, giving an attacker a pretty small time window to act.

                                    e: and they have to break into the phone as well - if it's updated, that might buy more than enough time

                                        Could be because OWASP now actively recommends against periodic password changes.

                                        Ensure credential rotation when a password leak occurs, at the time of compromise identification or when authenticator technology changes. Avoid requiring periodic password changes; instead, encourage users to pick strong passwords and enable Multifactor Authentication Cheat Sheet (MFA). According to NIST guidelines, verifiers should not mandate arbitrary password changes (e.g., periodically).

                                          Vim? Oh wow. I'd be looking into a USB Keyboard that types the entire source code of vim into the machine, assuming there isn't an easier option.
