Possibly Unlocking The Point

Client: “It says my password is incorrect, but I’m sure I entered it correctly.”

Me: “Okay, let’s try to log on with my computer. Can I have your password?”

The client hands me a (poorly) handwritten note with eight different passwords, all thirty-two digits long.

Client: “It should be one of these.”

Me: “You know, there’s really no need to make your passwords that long. Eight digits should be enough.”

Client: “That wouldn’t be very safe, now, would it?!”

Me: “How many locks do you have on your front door?”

Client: “One. Why?”

Me: “Why not ten? It’s much safer.”

Client: “That’s stupid. It would take ages to get into my house.”
