This practice is not recommended anymore, yet still found in many enterprises.

    The CEO at my last place used to forget his passwords at least once a week, would write them on Post-It notes on his desk (and lose them by day’s end).

    We had a dashboard that showed failed security and he was many, many times worse than the rest of the business combined. That man cost the business more in IT time than anyone.

    This was a bank. Granted, a small lending-only bank but still, I would never get a mortgage or loan with these people.

    They should have just put a Yubikey on his keys. He never lost those.

      It’s somehow always the guys in management/on top. On the first sign of inconvenience, they start complaining about all the security measures, because now it affects them personally, and they’re not here to be managed! Security is for everyone else, but definitely not them. They’re above it.
