My last employer canned a new hire for putting a password on the HD and/or BIOS of the computer assigned to him.

The company computers typically had a user’s first name as their login password, so I never seriously considered changing mine.

Same employer assigned me a task of writing the software for a “keylogger” -like device to be inserted in-line in the keyboard connection. It was not so much a logger as a remote RF bug —and a not very capable one. Special characters and distinguishing upper/lower case were not supported.
