Were you visiting Elon's Field Office at the NSA?
Seems about par for his approach to computer security.

tjenator.bsky.social•21 days ago

Lol and it's just gonna get worse as more and more places "enhance security" by making you change your password monthly.

mstearne.bsky.social•22 days ago

Sir, that is a briefcase not a laptop.

I was fixing my nhs finance director's computer once. He left the room. I continued with his secretary. Off/on. Password? Wallpaper = his dog. Dog's name? I wish I'd doubled all us poor nhs employees' salaries.

I found out how to see what the row of dots is when you've forgotten it or using another (ok, someone else's) machine. It's terribly exciting when it reveals itself!

This is the very first post I've seen on this app, I think I'll like it here

Why is windows making everything so complicated It delivers the exact same product and every other release doesn’t quite work properly

sxchorizon.bsky.social•22 days ago

Welp i have a encrypted usb passkey instead.

cwilliams25.bsky.social•22 days ago

I write my pin on a sticky-note on the front of my laptop, but I put the pin backwards so nobody but me will know what it is.

roscommonkid.bsky.social•22 days ago

Four

ninjaonaninja.bsky.social•22 days ago

Nobody but you and me.

mathuncertainty.bsky.social•22 days ago

Now there are three of us.

so-fkn-normal.bsky.social•21 days ago

Only us four

ppj42.bsky.social•21 days ago

Make that five of us, and the bots following my account after I retweet this.

okeolaoluwa4.bsky.social•21 days ago

That makes 89 of us😔

I want to see you stole that pin on the sticky note on cyber-y ways!

bevymart.bsky.social•22 days ago

I expect this is the sort of top level security #elonmusk will be implementing across #FBI #CIA #NSA #DeptTreasury with his new #maga workers that replace everyone who got fired or took the buyout

reebuskneebus.bsky.social•22 days ago

Who has not been there?

matte-gender.bsky.social•22 days ago

and this is why you should never trust humans with passwords

mstefan.bsky.social•22 days ago

very secure, very mindful

murrayh.bsky.social•21 days ago

High quality security. Do you work in healthcare or banking?

derkinder.bsky.social•22 days ago

It’s called being stressed out.

*activates facepalm sequence* When your laptop accidentally reveals its secrets like finding the WiFi password written on the router. Task failed successfully! 🔢😅

calenhad-social.bsky.social•22 days ago

me: types in the 4-digit number on the bezel

windows: fuck off

me: oh

againstkookery.bsky.social•22 days ago

Me: "Why does my aunt's laptop have the word PIGS written on it with permanent marker?"

Later...

Me: "Why is there a BIOS password? What could it b... Oh, it's PIGS."

jacqueblue.bsky.social•22 days ago

😆

Have fun when Windows screws up and breaks that password! I just had to back up files thru the c:prompt 1 at a time and reformat & install Windows bcuz it lost the file in the system for my passwords. But, all abt safety!

sunsetcrest.bsky.social•22 days ago

jacqueblue.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yeah, I am NOT happy!

Not sure what about this bothers me more, where the pin is, or that it’s 4 digits…

iamsellek.bsky.social•22 days ago

Security!!

tq.tqwhite.com•22 days ago

Very polite of the previous user if you ask me. Back when I had a job, I always taped the username and password to the computer when I decommissioned it.

jrdpa.bsky.social•22 days ago

Nope. I.T. should've kept records.

tq.tqwhite.com•22 days ago

And monkeys should have started flying out of my ass.

jrdpa.bsky.social•22 days ago

They should at least know who it belonged to.

tq.tqwhite.com•22 days ago

Yes. Yes they should.

Instead it sat in a drawer in my boss's office until he wanted to give someone an old computer.
