    I'm doing some mandatory training, and now at part about computers, security and privacy: phishing, encryption, password strength. It's tear-my-hair-out wrong. Also it is almost certainly official policy, so not that kind of wrong. Ignore (like everyone being trained)/cry/both?

        Into the void: the only reliable precaution against phishing is security keys, and nothing else will work at scale. Your people will get phished so plan for that. Also, the impossible-to-remember password recommended in your shared workplace means password on post-it on monitor.

        So. My organization recently fake phished me. I followed the instructions I had learned in their cybersecurity trainings, was flagged for doing it wrong, and have now been assigned more training. It's a self-perpetuating cycle.

        I think I accidentally closed the tab! Or, if you believe in such things, my subconscious rage-clicked on the x. I'm gonna wait till tomorrow to log back in to see if it saved my "progress."

        and the password policy remains mad despite a lot of the research on usability and passwords literally coming from UCL over the last 25 years

        I worked for a fortune 500 company whose infosec password advice was to make a base password, add the name of the site/service to it, toss in a symbol, and then increment a number every time it needed changed

        ours was way too long and had videos that stop playing when you tab out of the window, as if they can somehow force you to watch it. I'd rather take off the headphones and stare at the wall for 3 minutes. You can't force people to pay attention, just make better content.
