Has anyone had to change their EUID password yet? They've changed how it's done. First of all, you can't use any words, any part of your name, or any part of your EUID. It has to contain at least one letter and at least one number. Here's the worst part. You can't re-use the same password for 2 full years. They make it sound like it's a matter of national security.
Maybe we were hacked? My password for years has been "pass0000", with the number going up every time I have to change it. The new rules don't allow "pass," but I was able to just spell it backwards and keep my system moving. ssap0000.

These changes are a NothingBurger. What could be easier than to come up with......... a simple password, but you have to use at least one letter and one number????
An idea.............. Just use a random word (such as Keychain, or Brick, or Governor, or Drivel, or Music, or Happy, or Snuffleupagus, or Pizza, or whatever your favorite word is, then follow that with an interesting (to you) year, such as 1892, or 1977, or 1355, or 1776, or 2001...........and then just "up" the year by one digit each time you change passwords.
This ain't rocket science! Just don't give it out to anyone else. And if you use the RF scanners, don't share your password with fellow employees.

Did you read the post? You can't use words as part of your password anymore.
Your edui will always be the same and will follow you for ever and ever. Your password can only be changed with the company computers. Which are poorly designed and barely operational.

Oops, I read that in a hurry and missed the part about "no words". However, that sounds like it could not possibly be correct. There are hundreds of thousands of words in the English language. Will the Kroger software "know" and recognize when you try using a bonafide word??? What about using a word in another language? How will it know which string of letters is a real word, and which is not?? Sounds very odd to me........
I guess the next time I have to change passwords, I will do a little "experimenting" and see what happens!!

UPDATE ("Kroger-Employee" here again) ....... I just changed my password today. I used a rather ordinary word in the English language, plus a four-digit number ( a year) and it worked just fine. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL!!! And the instructions on the screen say nothing whatsoever about not using "words" within your password. Evidently the OP has misunderstood something. Or, dare I say, this is a case of FAKE NEWS????

No, IT definitely changed what passwords are acceptable. I have used the same pattern of passwords for the last 5 years. Now, I have been forced to use a different pattern.
I don't see why they're making such a big fuss over passwords. Nearly every time I pick up an RF unit, the last person to use has forgotten to sign out of it. There's this one guy who never signs out whenever he uses E-Schedule. One of these days someone is going to come along and screw up his requests and availabilty.

Well, I rarely sign out of it, because we are automatically signed out after five minutes or so. My pet peeve is this... I get distracted (have to stop what I'm doing to help a customer or do another task) and in what seems like a few seconds, I am signed out and have to sign back in again!
In any case, I don't see any difficulty about coming up with a password that is easy, and easy to remember. Look up an unusual word (even a word with four or five letters that few people use in everyday speech) in the dictionary, add a year, and you are set! I had no problem doing this yesterday, and I can't see why anyone else would have a problem.
I've been using the same password for years, with the exception of changing the two numbers at the end by one digit.
Makes it easy for me to remember, since we change about every 70 days.
