Let’s talk about Kanye. You might remember that he was featured on international news when he entered his phone password on live TV. But the part that earned him national mockery was the password itself: 000000. It’s easy to laugh at the example he set, but, unfortunately, his attitude towards security is similar to many people today. And when your employees are using poor password practices, it can put you, your team, and your customers at risk. Navigating the desired path People tend to go where they want to––and if a path isn’t built, they will forge ‘desired paths’ to get there. This also happens in enterprise IT, where users often use shortcuts that might compromise security, like Kanye did. While these desired paths might be annoying to your IT team, they’re actually indicative of problems in the user experience.
