It's a common problem

A similar problem is passwords. Where I work, we have several different systems that we all use. They all force us to change passwords regularly, and the systems all have different password rules about length and complexity. So people do what they always do in such a situation: write passwords down on a post-it note attached to their monitor. The hard-core security types put the post-it under their keyboards. Those with a clue use keepass or something similar.

The only reason we don't get p0wned completely is that we are in an access-controlled area, but I still keep expecting something major to happen. I could try to bring management attention to this, but around here, the least said is always best.
