I have one password for the Corporation (email, VPN, various online databases, dashboards and wikis). I have another one just for requesting vacation time, because that system is run by the Corporation that owns the Corporation I work for.

Then there's the password for timecards (outsourced to another company), goal setting and training (outsource to another company), 401k, medical insurance and just because, another company (that isn't our medical insurance) for handling prescriptions.

Our Corporation has one password expiration timeframe (90 days but not really because they start nagging two weeks prior and won't shut up until you change the password) and the Corporation that owns The Corporation has another timeframe (60 days, but again, they start bitching about two weeks prior) and of course, all these sites have their own ideas about "secure passwords."

Weren't certificates supposed to deal with all this?

Wait ... don't answer that. I don't think I want to know the answer.
