RE: Password alternatives

Do they also give their PAs copies of their drivers licenses, and invite the
PAs to paste their own pictures on them?  I bet not.  They need to be told
that sharing a password this way is more like that than it is like lending
the car keys to someone who has their own license.

Subject: Password alternatives

Hi guys

The recent attempt to roll out password complexity within our AD domain has
not been well recieved by higher / executive management. These guys have a
habit of sharing their passwords with their PAs and secretaries and now they
are cribbing when they need to change their password every 90 days.

What are best and most workable alternatives? Biometrics, RSA tokens? Any
thing else which you guys have implemented with relative ease?

Pls advise!
