at my first job they used a similar password as their go-to "temporary" password for users etc. I found later when I got to work with the users that they rarely changed this password even when "forced" to, and in many cases had it up on post-its next to their monitor.

and in many cases had it up on post-its next to their monitor.

These days a post it is probably the best way to secure your password.

99.9999999% of password hacks come over the wire now, from people in other cities, states, or nations. If someone is in your building, in front of the computer, even without the post-it, you're probably toast.

A post-it is not a good way to secure your office's generic temporary password.
