Changing Passwords

We are still not quite into the finger-tip tantalisingly close season of Spring, so need a bit of cheering up to cope with the grey skies and gloom, not to mention endless reports about Brexit and Trump.  A friend sent me the following which apparently won Best Joke in a competition. I'm sure we've all experienced this......

 
WINDOWS: Please enter your new password.
 
USER: cabbage
 
WINDOWS: Sorry, the password must be more than 8 characters.
 
USER:  boiled cabbage
 
WINDOWS: Sorry, the password must contain 1 numerical character.

USER: 1 boiled cabbage
 
WINDOWS: Sorry, the password cannot have blank spaces.
 
USER:  50bloodyboiledcabbages
 
WINDOWS: Sorry, the password must contain at least one uppercase character.
 
USER: 50BLOODYboiledcabbages
 
WINDOWS: Sorry, the password cannot use more than one uppercase character consecutively.
 
USER:   50BloodyBoiledCabbagesYouStupidIdiotGiveMeAccessNow!
 
WINDOWS: Sorry, the password cannot contain punctuation.
 
USER :  IWillHuntYouDown50BloodyBoiled CabbagesYouStupidIdiotGiveMeAccessNow
 
WINDOWS: Sorry, that password is already in use. 


Arghhhhhhh.

    Absolutely love this, having recently spent rather a long time trying to sort out passwords. Do you mind if I borrow it to put on my blog?

    Had a good chuckle but hate having to change passwords. It's easy to think of a good one but how to remember exactly what you did with it! Not so good!

    That's a good one, haha! There are so many passwords and codes to remember - but they all ward off the Alzheimer's, hopefully.
