password

Mildred received a notification that her needed to update her account password. After staring at the empty password field for a few minutes, she had it!

 

She typed his new password: potato.

 

The computer responded with an error message: ‘Sorry, your password must contain at least 8 letters.’

 

She typed again: boiled potato.

 

Again, she was met with an error. ‘Sorry, your password must contain at least 1 number.’

 

Mildred thought she was being clever and typed ‘1 boiled potato’ into the password field.

 

‘Sorry, password cannot contain spaces.’

 

Frustrated, Mildred typed ’50fingboiledpotatoes’.

 

Another error message. ‘Sorry, your password must contain capital letters.’

 

She tried again. ’50FINGboiledpotatoes.’

 

It was no good either. ‘Sorry, your password must not contain capital letters that are consecutive.’

 

Mildred thought someone must be pulling her leg. She was getting furious.

 

‘IwillThrow50fingBoiledPotatoesRightatYourScreen,IfYouDontGiveMeAccess she typed, thinking she’d outwitted the password requirements.

 

Another error message appeared. ‘Sorry, your password must not contain any punctuation.’

 

Mildred, was about to lose her mind. She typed frantically, slamming her fingers into the keyboard with each keystroke.

 

‘NowIamSeriouslyGettingAnnoyedIwillThrow50fingBoiledPotatoesRightatYourScreenIfYouDontGiveMeAccess.’

 

The computer started to process the request. Mildred started to relax her shoulders.

 

‘Sorry, you cannot change your password to a password you have already used with this account. Choose a new password: …’

 

:P
