After in excess of 38 years in this industry, I can proudly wear the paranoid tag if attached. After so many years of no problems arising, someone comes up with the idea that new users are so thick, they will have severe difficulty with 2 passwords.
I have over 200 passwords total, given that each stupid online service requires a separate account and many times they have password entropy requirements. This gets over my memory limits; I'd be surprised to be the only one in this situation.
No you are not. Add user IDs to the number and it is a mess. That is how people are coming on idea to use one of each for all services, or to remember few that are used for different levels of security.
So you can certainly count me in for having difficulties to memorise 2 complex passwords for one computer.
Me too. Problem is that many of us have in house few computers, some single boot, some dual, some multiple boots, count routers and modems, and without leaving a house you can end with 50 places that ask for user IDs and passwords. My current count is just a bit below that. So, we normal mortals are forced to use same group of passwords for all accounts. That makes me wonder why so much hype on openSUSE decision to make user lives a bit easier. Asking to have same password for first created user and root is not bad as that would be the same person. Passwords are stored separately and there is no indication that they are the same. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
