Unbelievably stupid in 2022.

[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 94654, post: 980581"] Some website developers are recognizing the need for strong passwords and making it such that the user must use them to create an account. But what are you supposed to do in a 1000 person company, with only 2 admins, and they use the word "password" as the password for all their admin stuff on every single device in the company ? It is admin negligence, but at the same time those admins can be so overburdened and their management won't listen to them. So it is not so straightforward. You have to remember, unless something is mandated by law, companies will not do it. Companies want the pleasant fiction of a one-button solution that works silently and seamlessly and solves all their security problems. They don't want to hire the small army of security staff needed to properly protect even a small commercial network. Management does not understand security typically and they don't understand why something they have just downloaded is being blocked. Overall, the reality out there, while getting better, is both absurd and dismal. But revenue and profits always comes first. [/QUOTE]
