Hi!
I've been wondering what would be the best way to handle passwords of a
system (one or more computers) which is administrated by a team of
administrators.
If were talking about a system with more than one machine, would you
choose different passwords for each machine or one for all of them?
Should passwords be stored somewhere readable by all admins? If so,
where? A computer? A peace of paper? Digital format?
Storing passwords somewhere is problematic if that place gets
compromised but if you have lots of passwords, it may be difficult for
every administrator to remember them all.
How about the choice of passwords? Good password even if hard to
remember or a not so good password but one that every admin would not
forget?
Thanks.
