Most organisations have severe sanctions in place for folks that write down their passwords or change them infrequently, worse still those that have 'password' as their password.
The problem is of course that passwords are difficult to remember, even more so if you are required to change it every thirty days! Take comfort - you will never need to remember a password ever again.
The solution is to use a pass-phrase. Instead of remembering Vy65d7T use, perhaps, a line from your favourite song - in my case that Talking Heads classic 'burning down the house' remove the spaces and viola! An easy remembered way into your system, just make sure that it is at least 14 characters long, that should make it uncrackable for at least thirty days when you change it for another much loved lyric.
Another risk mitigated
