Password Hygiene Gets Too Literal
Description
The image shows a Maastricht University security-awareness poster with underwear hanging on a clothesline against a blue background. The main text says "Treat your passwords like your underwear" followed by bullet points: "Never share them with anyone", "Change them regularly", and "Keep them off your desk". A red footer says "Be aware of the new European law on privacy and personal data, General Data Protection Regulation - effective 25 May 2018", and the bottom includes "www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/privacy" plus a small "t.me/dev_meme" watermark. The technical humor is the painfully literal password metaphor: memorable enough for awareness training, but also a reminder that periodic password rotation can become compliance theater if it just produces predictable suffixes.

Forced password rotation is how `Winter2026!` becomes an enterprise identity strategy with a GDPR footer.
