In my line of work, funny things do happen with high tech environment. In IT, security is taken very seriously and some company practice not to give out password over the phone because you do not know who is on the other line. Here is a user calling IT helpdesk with an issue he has.
User: I forgot my password and cannot login to the network.
Helpdesk: Please may I have your ID.
User: 123456.
Helpdesk: I will reset your password and send it to you through email.
User: Hello, I cannot login to the network.:mad: I cannot get to my email to view the password.
Helpdesk: Sorry, I cannot give you the password over the phone. Maybe I will post it to your house address.
Deadlock. User cannot login to the network, he will not be able to work until he received snail mail on his password. :giggles:
Go ahead and test it out to see what your IT Helpdesk response. You probably can shake legs while waiting for your password.
LOL! that is the policy mah 😛
otherwise someone managed to get hold of ur password while he is speaking out loud on the phone susah lor 😛
heehee…probably good way to take a official break hor….
if your boss does ask, then say, waiting for password to log in, no password cannot log in and thus cannot work….woahahah http://www.mybabybay.com/blog/wp-images/smilies/dance.gif

ahaha..ya wohh..network can’t masuk how lehh…probably the helpdesk gotta go to the person personally to reset it. faster mah :p
liddat ah…i’ll pretend to loose my password. then can shake leg! :dance:
I will be very happy if my networking down, they drag more, I can eat snake more! 😀
like that also can..in my company, all the users will scold the helpdesk liau…
LOL! That’s why I very fren-fren w/ our IT folks. Sure can get p/w over the phone wan! You’ll be amazed how some IT companies don’t have sufficient network security.
Egghead: Yeah, human’s policy sure got bad side effects.
Jazzmint: It will work if it is a small business group. With MNC, IT helpdesk is global or virtual.
Miche: Hehehe…you try and see. :dance:
Jesslyn: Hahaha…also mean you cannot blog wor or read blog.
Chanel: No use scolding because they are not the one who dictates the policy. Pity them sometimes.
Vien: Later kena audit, then you know.
aaah.. for us.. they give us another option.. they send the password to some one you identity.. so that person gets the email and read the password to you.. That’s another option.. but not sure if they will get audit comments for doing this.
