Now, I just had a discussion about storing those passwords.
"It would be nice if we could send the users their password in case they forget."
Out of the question because I hash passwords before I store them.
"But we're not storing user data and it would be more practical if we knew these passwords... We won't be hacked and even if we were it wouldn't be a problem since the data is not very important..."
Why the [mastadon] am I even having this discussion in 2021 with a fellow IT professional!? Dead | X|


Still better than "It would be nice if we could see their passwords to login as them when they're reporting a problem to try reproduction to see if it's a real problem or user error". Not a multinational sized customer but still... 😭😭
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
