One of our former clients was an "IT support" for several small companies in the are. He could change the batteries in a mouse and pretty much everything else was outsourced to us. Yet he boasted of his incalculable accomplishments. In later years he introduced his obtuse* son to take over his business and at that point we ended all collaboration and started to work directly with the companies he provided support for.

*I was asked to show him how to configure Watchguard firewalls - reasonable since all firewalls differ in their quirks. I ended up teching about IP addresses, subnets, routing and all the basic tenets of networking to some knuckle dragger.

Anyhoo...any time the IT support asked for remote connections to his clients, the password generator always came up with w4nK3r, iD10t, b1rDbr41n etc.

He complained the passwords being too complex to remember.
