My hospitals floor users "nurses" have four passwords to keep track of. (not including doors, locks, machinery etc). One is grammatical nonsee like "kljgim" this is given upon hier adn never changes. One is nine numerical digits chosen by adminupon hire adn never changes, followed by four chosen numbers, changed when you forget them and have admin reenter you (infrequent after first six months). The third has to include one cap and a minimum of four numerals meshed with a minimum seven letter word not found in the english language. It requires a new password never entered by the user. This occurs randomly (we think) and without warning approximatly ever two to three months.
I am one of the only nurses who is comp literate. We tend to be in our fifties, rural white females.
Education is the key. All my chosen passwords are either numerical sequence or else in Romanian. No one can ever use mine because they can't remember them. :-) Once I started getting my co-workers to use things they remembered like; Code Brown and Ridin_thepootrain we did much better.
