Re: SEC: forgotten passwords

[Theodore Brindle <brindlet@STUDENT.GVSU.EDU>]

We work with students on memory techniques to memorize the password. If a
student forgets a password, he or she is required to present a student ID
and Student planner to get a new one. I encourage students to put their
password in their planner or on the back of their ID realizing that there is
still a security risk with this approach.
