WORLD PASSWORD DAY – FIRST THURSDAY IN MAY
WORLD PASSWORD DAY
The Registrar of National Day Calendar has designated the first Thursday of May of each year as World Password Day.
World Password Day is a celebration to promote better password habits. Passwords are critical gatekeepers to our digital identities, allowing us to access online shopping, dating, banking, social media, private work and life communications.
Get tips to fortify your password habits on the official World Password Day website, PasswordDay.org.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Celebrate World Password Day by visiting PasswordDay.org and taking the #WorldPasswordDay pledge, sharing a password tip on social media, changing an old password to a long, strong one or by turning on two-factor authentication for your important accounts.
HISTORY
Security researcher Mark Burnett first encouraged people to have a “password day,” where they update important passwords in his 2005 book Perfect Passwords. Inspired by his idea, Intel Security took the initiative to declare the first Thursday in May World Password Day in May 2013. Submitted by Big Monocle in 2016, Password Day is meant to create awareness of the need for good password security.

All of your password choices are good. Be sure to let us know which one you choose...

As you may or may not know, I am a customer service rep for a major cellular phone carrier, and if you only knew how many calls a day I take in which people cannot remember their own security/account verification pin number and expect me to just tell them what it is. But these same people would be screaming like a virgin at a gang-bang if I or my colleagues
DID just that and the next thing they know someone has used that information to order six brand new iPhones @ roughly a grand each, had them shipped to someplace like Walla-Walla, Washington from which they ended up God-only-knows-where, and left them holding the bag for the cost of those devices.

What will those wine-swilling miscreants in Walla Walla do next.

I keep mine written down on the insides of my wrists. Kind of like that time Tom Matte played quarterback and wrote all the plays on his wristband.

Gee, I thought maybe a day of tribute had been declared for the late great Allen Ludden...
