      I mean, that’s what lots of users do. My state requires that all state employees change their password every 90 days. This just means everyone has an incrementing number at the end of their password. Because the idiot users just write it on a fucking sticky note, which totally negates the idea of password changes.

        Regular password changes haven’t been recommended procedure for several years now. The only problem it solves is preventing people from using the same password everywhere, but since everyone just sticks a number at the end anyways it doesn’t actually protect against that either
