    You have a choice of automagically created passwords to enhance security. These are "password", "secret", "fred", "fido", "1234", and the ever-popular "******". So far, no senior manager has been able to hack in (to their own account).

    Remember making things in high school shop class?

    It was hardened by flaming it up to extremely high temperatures and then immediately thrown into cold water.
