- I was looking in the user's file this morning, and began
- noticing some of the passwords. Since this is the season for
- APRIL FOOL'S DAY, I hope no one takes any of my observations
- to heart.
- Here are some observations:
- 14 people used the password 'SEXY'. Thirteen of them are
- male, and having met two of them personally I can attest that
- they are NOT sexy. (I have never met the lady who choose that
- as a password, but I sure would like to! (hint hint)). One
- humble fellow used the password 'FOXY'.
- 37 people used obscenties as passwords. Since all passwords
- are limited to four letters, it seems that most of the four-
- letter words that come to people's minds fall in the 'x-rated'
- catagory. I even found one I had never heard before!
- Slang is also represented. PW's like 'HIPP', 'ROCK', and
- 'R&R!' are ample. 'KOOL' is another favorite. Since I know
- one of the people who used that password, I have to assume that
- is his brand of ciggarettes.
- Apparently a lot of the guys use the names of their wives or
- girl friends as passwords. I am a bit worried about the guys
- who use OTHER GUY's names as passwords however. Since spring is
- in the air, and we all know what that does to a young man's fancy,
- the password 'LOVE' has been cropping up lately. (Some of them
- are probably more in love with their new Osbornes!)
- Three people used the password 'PIGG'. Either they are fans
- of the muppets, or Richard Simons. I don't know which. In the
- same vein, two people used the password 'FOOD'.
- Some people like to be computerish. 'GIGO', 'GOTO', 'ELSE',
- and 'PASS' are all popular. I think the one who choose 'GOSU'
- as his password ran out of memory for his GOSUB.
- People's thoughts and moods are often reflected also. I like
- the guy who first logged on at 4:30 in the morning, and used the
- password 'YAWN'.
- Other people like to be artistic. Passwords like '@@@@', or
- '%^&*' are examples. Considering myself to be a bit artistic, I
- like my password best. It's clean, simple, and best of all, it's
- artisitic. By the way, it only works when the system is OFF-LINE!
- The password is.....
