Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for June 08, 2020

Scooter Libby? Only us old folks know that one.

Wiz’s password is:

OpenSesame

“ExtemelyStrong”

At first I thought Wiz was drunk and couldn’t speak coherently.

My first thought was that Wiz was getting through his list of ingredients of a magical potion (probably to notice in the last panel he forgot water).

What does he need a password for?

To activate the spell that helps him remember his password.

Password protected cauldrons? What next keypads on your broom!

What, no lower case, numeric or special characters?

It comes with age. I just found my keys after a week of looking and stared at them on my yoga mat for like 20 minutes saying " there is NO way…" Could I possibly be this shot out?? (Yeah. Maybe.)

It’s probably: password :D

Well, if you didn’t have to keep changing it…

should have written it down somewhere…

He said most of his passwords already. He’s just dealing with a very old temperamental cauldron “patiently” smirking until Wiz is loud and clear.

If the guessing is being done by a computer, the most important thing is not what the characters happen to be but the total length. A computer doesn’t care if it is a special character, upper case, or numeric.

How about “Fink smells!”

Years ago a friend at work asked me to cover for him while he was on vacation. I asked him what his computer password was. He said its a secret.

I love it that now a days I can use spaces in my password. “I have a great password.” is a password.

The ghoul has a sense of humor.

Okay, Wiz, what was your high school mascot? How about your paternal grandfather’s first name?

Keeping a log would help…and I don’t mean a tree log…

Wiz just click “forgot password” and a temporary one will be sent to your email

What I really hate is when I have to change my password at work every month and then spend the next two weeks training myself to use the new password instead of the old one out of habit!

At this rate he’s going to cast a spell just trying to unlock his cauldron…

My passwords are crap and I still don’t remembe them, creating new ones would be a worse disaster.

In my early days at work the company was on a mainframe system, and there were only departmental passwords, to limit who had access to what. But you could still see all the main applications. Based on that little bit of knowledge it was possible to figure out the passwords for the other departments, and dig up all kinds of information.

This is why one should use a password locker.

I like to have my passwords which are easy to forget but should never be forgotten.. like my anniversary date..

Next step, prove you’re not a robot. How many squares have a cauldron in them?

How about “TheKingisAFink”?

Should’ve tried "Frammin’ at the Jim-Jam!

If not that, then “Frippen in the Krotz”!

Or are those just “magic” words, not passwords?

Guess it’ll have to be wiz-mailed to him.

Zoot suit riot? LOL!!!!

Zoot Suit Riot! I may have to use this to introduce a topic in class.
