# It's almost work password reset day which means for the next week I will be typing the wrong password at least 10 times a day.

# Finally got round to watching the first series of The Mandalorian - I had been getting stick from a colleague for not having seen it, being the biggest geek on the team. (Who are you and what have you done with Colin?)
I had heard very good things so felt a bit disappointed after the first two episodes; it didn't seem to be as good as everyone was making out. I was too quick to judge. Episode 3 and on the story really takes off and becomes hugely enjoyable. I just wish the episodes were longer as I could watch so much more of this and still feel it wasn't enough.
The production values are immense and it's just like watching a movie. The way the backgrounds are generated with Unreal Engine and displayed on a full 360 degree screen (no green screen here) makes it all the more immersive and believable, not to mention being absolutely fantastic.
@colinwalker we’re on a six-week cycle and it’s basically two weeks of entering the wrong password, two weeks or comfortable use, and two weeks of dread knowing I have to change it again soon.
We're on a 90 day cycle so don't have to come up with new passwords as often but it means reprogramming the muscle memory is a real pain. Most people just tend to use the same password and increment the numbers at the end - if they enforce a policy requiring a certain number of characters to change then we're all screwed ;)
@colinwalker @jonkit my client requires a password changes every 30 days. I think I'd lose it if I didn't use a password manager.
@khurtwilliams on the bright side, you’d have to (or at least I would) solely rely on the password manager all of the time so you’d never switch in and out of that mode
@jonkit yes. I 100% rely on the password manager. It’s a good one, too. 1Password.
