Password Change – Quarterly

An employee calls for a password change because it’s about to expire.

Me: Are you on a company computer?

User: No.

Me: go to URL and login there to change your password.

User: That site never works for me, can you just change the password.

Me: Let’s get that site working so you don’t have to call us every 3 months.

User: Why? Can’t you just reset the password?

Me: Yes, but I want to show you how to reset your own password.

User: Okay, but this is taking longer than a password reset would.

Me: Yes, however, if you build a man a fire, he’ll stay warm for a night… but if you LIGHT a man on fire he’ll stay warm the rest of his life.

User: *laughs hysterically*
