Security is good. There seems to be computer hackers everywhere trying to steal your identity or information. Our work is hit especially hard, since we have hostile foreign nations trying to break into our computer systems daily.
Just today, I got a popup window on my work laptop to enter a password/PIN to enable bitlocker. This is something that blocks the computer from booting up if the password/PIN is not entered correctly at startup. Again, having security is good, but this is approaching overkill. To get to my work files, I now have to enter the bitlocker password/PIN when booting up the computer, then log into Windows 10 with my userid and password, then enable our VPN, which requires the same Windows password plus a six digit code from Microsoft Authenticator. If I need to remote in to my desktop at work, I need to run Remote Access and enter my Windows password one more time. All this is made harder with restrictions on our work password. I think it needs to be at least 20 characters and cannot repeat eight prior passwords.
No wonder people write down userids and passwords on a Post-It and stick it on their monitor.
