And they’re sneaky about it. So if you go on a trip, you complacently enter yor password at your destination or when you return, they start making you jump through their hoops.

Irritating is an understatement. I really, truly dislike going on-line knowing tha some cyber-dweeb’s algorithm is as likely or not going to force me to think up new passwords each sessions.
