The first place I ever worked at that had passwords was back on a S/3. Our sys admin had a great idea to generate "unbreakable" passwords, such as XSWUHT5IK59; sort of a random number generator. As my boss and I were leaving late one night, we noticed post-its on many of the terminals with these "unbreakable" (and impossible to remember) passwords. We lifted a few keyboards, too, where there were no post-its, Pete. Sure enough, there they were.

I can't tell you the number of companies that I walk into, and I just flip
over a few keyboards and find out passwords.
