Some years ago, I would walk into a room of workstations, sit down at any that was not already in use, and login. I would get my own configuration that, yesterday, I got at a different workstation. This was in a highly secure environment for developing and testing classified software for the military. We had to change our passwords monthly. The login server kept a record of our passwords so that we could not reuse a password for 24 months. The system was sufficiently secure that it was not connected in any way to the Internet. Cell phones, laptops, etc were prohibited from the facility. Floppy drives were all removed or at least physically disabled. (Memory sticks were not yet known.) -- David E.
