(like a post-it to the screen). There is no difference between an outside hacker and an inside hacker, and Social Engineering is the preferred way to gain passwords (as it leaves little trace) | |

Post to random sequence on your monitor. Hackers outside can't see the note. Inside you hopefully don't have hackers who can figure out your easy to remember part. It's not a good solution but much much better than your complete password available to your colleagues. | |
