Passwords -- Would you wear the same underwear for 90 days or more? By Peter M. Abraham January 2005 Take the time to check your security posture and retire some of those old passwords. Passwords are like Underwear... Change yours often. Passwords are like Underwear... Don't leave yours lying around. Passwords are like Underwear... Don't share them with friends. Passwords are like Underwear... Be mysterious. Passwords are like Underwear... The longer the better. Note: The above was/is a part of a security awareness campaign started by the ITCS at University of Michigan. Make sure they get all of the appropriate credit for this interesting way to get password security through to end users. If you are utilizing any of our managed services, please make sure we have the most up to date passwords.  There is nothing like your having a crisis, contacting us for emergency care, and then we cannot connect to the servers. Thank you.
