I worked at a place which enforced a password change every 90 days. They also tried to make it difficult to reuse passwords by keeping a password history o 12 entries. My solution is handle the situation was to come up with a simple algorithm to enumerate passwords (baseXY or XbaseY) which were system compliant and easy to remember.
Point is that narrow-sighted policies are leading to insecure imlementations. Any workplace which require the handling of 3 passwords or more is insecure by human natures inability.
To reduce the number of passwords being used the companies needs to adopt single sign-on strategies for all future, current and legacy applications. I doubt that will happen anywhere anytime soon.
Left or right Scrollbars IMHO have nothing to do with left or right handiness. Left scrollbars minimize mouse travel when cutting and pasting lines. Thats due to latin languages who write left to right, top to down.
Unfortunately we are stuck with right scrollbars....
