This is why we use phrase based passwords as best practices now.
“Open Sesame!”
Incorrect password.
“Open Sesame!”
Incorrect password.
[changes password to “Open Sesame!”]
New password must be different from the current password.
This could’ve gone much worse.
While not my exact iteration pattern of base password, it’s close enough that I feel spoken to by this comic.
Come back in two months
“OpenSesame!123”
Invalid password
“OpenSesame!124”
opens
I-I-I would never use a password like this. Excuse me, I have to go now for uh… reasons.
Nice save! What did you change it to?
I tried 3 times to change it to OpenSesame!123 as the picture instructed, but it kept saying “cannot reuse existing password”. I was thinking to wait and hour and try again. After that, I’ll give up and use something new. I was thinking either “God”, “Love”, “password”, or “secret” - something really easy for me to remember. :-P
