Hello Rob,

Require mixed case passwords. Enforce it.
Apparently scanners (at least ours) will not send mixed case. I suspected some people had a sheet pasted with their user id and password in barcode they were using for their scanner devices. It was confirmed when someone asked how to change their password to all one case for exactly this purpose.

People have been lazy all the time. :-)

Was this probably the outcome of "change your password every two weeks" or so?

:wq! PoC
