What do you mean, "remember"? With today's corporate security policies it is harder than ever for me to access the data and systems I need to. I have upwards of a hundred firewall rule exceptions just to do my job. And every new system means weeks of paperwork to obtain appropriate access and permissions to get everything communicating correctly while maintaining security. Ever hear of a STIG? Fun stuff.
The thing is, most of this overblown security is due to the inherent insecure nature of personal computing.
