I'm just glad they didn't include 'make sure the IT guy isn't using 'admin' as his password' as an option. That would've been too easy!

Ah, I see what they're getting at. Gotta make sure those authentication controls are airtight, no room for any 'open sesame' type situations.

Wait, does that mean I can't use my password 'password123' anymore? Darn, gotta get more creative with these audit folks around.
