I'm supposed to be writing comedy this morning so naturally am doing everything but.
I've been pondering how many passwords I'm supposed to remember at work.
I know people often berate the number of personal/ finance passwords they have to remember but I wonder who here has the most work ones. In my previous job for a small company I had two - one for Outlook and one for Sage. Ah the good old days.
Now I work in Local Authority I have a different password for all of the following. Often they need user names as well which aren't always the same! And the first two in particular change every few weeks but not at the same time, and they have to be 'complicated', so they are never the same.
1. To log on initially - this covers Outlook too.
2. Our main finance package.
3. Our finance reporting package.
4. Our 'Supporting People' finance package
5. We have a filter for emails so some go to a dumping ground and I have to go in there to delete or open them.
6. To gain access to invoices for agency staff.
7. When applying for an internal job I was given a password to submit the application.
8. Further to the above I had to complete an online test and was given yet another password for that.
9. I have to monitor a team email address - so another password there.
Some spreadsheets are password protected too but I won't count those.
Any advances on nine? Sorry if this has been covered before but I feel better now. 
I'm not saying they're not needed but it is painful at times trying to remember the latest ones. Yet I still remember the car registration of my Dad's Ford Cortina from the 70's. (No. I don't use that as a password!)

ps I don't think this is a breach of security - even if you found out all my passwords you couldn't actually make any money from it - all payments have to be authorised or counter agreed elsewhere anyway!
