What's Your password policy?

[TetraSky]

If you shared your password with anyone, it's not secure.

 

So me myself and I.

[IKnight]

I typically keep stuff to myself. Why should other people know?

[PianoPlayer88Key]

My passwords are pretty much mine only.

I think, though, in case something happened to me, like I died or was permanently incapacitated, I'd want a way for my family to get my passwords so they could do whatever is necessary after my departure from this life.  I wouldn't want it accessible while I still am functional / alive, though.

tbh I'm shocked anyone even thought to ask this.  It would never have occurred to me anyone would do anything but keep them to themselves.  I mean, if you're going to share it why bother having one in the first place?

[plsno]

I keep my passwords to myself. I don't have one on my phone. 

[GDRRiley]

my passwords are all me, only 1 or 2 older ones are written down or known by my parents.

you trust someone but not most people, like a brother or sister (I have one and she get to know nothing).

I only share Netflix & Amazon Video.

Well, it starts with not discussing my password policy online with a bunch of rando's

for me it's trust basis & restricted access to those i trust, you know kinda like a house key policy where only people close to me know where i've kept it & or has a copy of it can get in anytime they want to or in need  . But deters strangers or others trying to snoop in.

If you loos your phone how the hell they are going to give it back to you if they cannoit call any of your reletives mum dad etc. If they want to steal it they just wipe it . 

 

If I loose my phone I can just log in to my Google account on a computer and make a message show up like "call xxxxxxxx if you find this" on lock screen.

Hell, I can make it a big green button with text "Click this button to call the owner" or something on the lock screen.
I can also see where it is, or where it last was connected to internet.

Can even just clean the phone for information if the finders arent willing to give it back and its too far away for me to take with someone I now and confront them.

(this is just standard Google thing)

 

I have never actually lost my phone before btw.

My passwords are only mine.

No one knows them, because what else would be the point of a password?

The question is wrong.  A password policy is not about giving your password to someone else; that´s out of the question to begin with.

 

Password policies are about when passwords expire, whether they can be re-used, how long they can be, what characters they may and must include and stuff like that.

 

Expected a thread about this when clicking on it and thought it was weird how some people would just give out that info..

[Geezerpunk]

I keep all system passwords to myself with my passwords also being available through my encrypted password keeper (Dashlane). Even at home, I have my Windows 10 set to password lock when my cell phone leaves my study. And it unlocks with the Yubi key.  But at 53 I also have to consider things for when I "shed this mortal coil" so I have attached instructions, and my master password within the safe that is kept with my Lawyer.

 I don't even write down my passwords, the last time I didn't use a password was for a school device. Long story short I came back to it with the wallpaper being two men doing some activity I'm not fond of as a straight male. If you'd like to know, every account has a different password that I can barely remember. Good luck, you'd need it.

[MoonlightSylv]

Only me and my BF.

[-TesseracT-]

I share with no one. I use LastPass where I have 30-character long psuedo random passwords of all sites and services that I use, except for my email account. My master password and password for email are so long, i havent even memorized them completely yet, though I know how to "get them" when I need them.

When I'm not home I have my SSD in my safe.

 

Well like that's gonna do a lot of good when you leave the keys in it.

[Ominous]

I will only give someone my password if I want them to have access to what I am giving them or if someone really needs my computer for something.  If I don't want anyone to know my password for something I'll just change it, it doesn't bother me.

[NewHopeTech]

My main desktop has a password only I know, my mac has a different password only I know, my other windows box has no password. For online passwords, I don't even know most of them. I use KeePass.
