Expect end-users to forgo convenience in place of security.

It's usually attached to a "can't use the same password for the next 45 passwords" policy. The average person will just write their new password down on a sticky and stick it to their monitor. Saw this a lot in the military before the CAC cards came into play. I think the password policy was something like, At least 9 characters, must be upper, lower, numbers and special characters, can't have any part of your name, your spouse's name or any of your children. Changes every 30 days, and you can't use the same password for 45 passwords.

Or they just change the number at the end.

The Financial Controller in the last company I worked for used the passwords like; "Password1" , then "Password2, etc.

No, that wouldn't work either, I forgot the part where you couldn't do that either.

It sucked, even I would write it down, though I'd put it in my wallet.

I think this falls under the "It's only funny because it's true." category.
