Customer calls in not knowing the password to his account.

Someone (the wife) apparently changed the password to 'cheater'.

I managed not to do a spit-take onto my keyboard and monitor, but it was a close call. That's many kinds of awesome. XD

[darquethoughts.livejournal.com]

That's just fucking awesome.

I love it.

Niiiice... and a good reminder of why to keep your passwords to yourself.

[duality.livejournal.com]

looks like passwords weren't the only thing he had a problem keeping to himself.

Win

[fixerkitty.livejournal.com]

Evidently.

+1.

[dreamatdrew]

And here I was thinking that he might have named it "password"....

...but then that just leads to all sorts of tasteless jokes about minimum length required for a good password...

And I'm not gonna go there....
nope
not gonna happen

Someone will be having an uncomfortable conversation tonight...

[ravenshrinkery.livejournal.com]

If it remains conversational he'll be fortunate. If it doesn't turn into him getting abused by a frying pan, kitchen knife, or other culinary implement, he might even still be able to reproduce when it's over with.

Gee, don't we wish cow-orkers, managers, vendors, etc. could suffer this fate when they really blow it?

[fixerkitty.livejournal.com]

That so rocks. Brava to her.

[wxgeek.livejournal.com]

Presumption correct. :)

[mattcaron.livejournal.com]

Hell, presumption is that this wasn't an account with any modicum of security, otherwise the password would have been run through a one-way hashing function...

[ravenofdreams.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Reminds me of that xkcd where his ex put 'sweet nothings' in his .conf files and a love note in his boot sector.

[syberghost.livejournal.com]

What kind of broken system do you have that you were able to determine his password in a reasonable time period?

[wxgeek.livejournal.com]

Support has access to this particular set of passwords for this particular system in clear text.
