If you access corporate email on a personal device that can be unlocked with FaceID, you must change your face at least once every sixty days.

You may not reuse any of your most recent 12 faces.

@maxleibman I had to share this around the office as I laughed too loud.

They laughed too!

@quikkie Thank you for letting me know! A real-world boost!

@maxleibman Aaah that's why Arya wanted to join the Faceless Men!

@elfin

Even if I keep my faces in a face manager? (or in a jar by the door?)

Josh

@elfin @maxleibman @juliewebgirl Which face manager do you use? I use 1Face and have heard good things about FaceWarden. Stay away from LastFace, too many face leaks as of late

@maxleibman Your face must contain a nose, eyes, a wart and a scar.

Matt Stewart

@maxleibman our policy is to change faces every 30d, unless there's indication your face has been compromised. In that case an immediate face change is required to access company assets.

@maxleibman Looks like you will need a whole BOOK of FACES ...

Please contact the technical support desk if you have forgotten your face and need help resetting it.

@maxleibman Our support desk is finding it hard to recruit: itโ€™s hard to find people with decent tech knowledge along with mobster level face-rearranging skills.

@maxleibman The problem at my age is proper adhesion after the required 90 day face change.

Jim :aim_logo: :OhNoBubble:

@maxleibman Not all accounts allow for self face reset. That needs to be enabled by face admins.

@maxleibman if u can change your gender once in a while, why not ur face too?

@maxleibman
shapeshifter, shapeshifter,
shift me a shape
my look has expired
and I need a new face

by biometric breach
or catastrophic leak
the fancy database
they use to ID my face
is all over the street

and soon someone will be
faking the face that was me

@maxleibman So that's what they mean by self-effacing, or should we say 'self e-facing.'

@maxleibman lol just reminded me my work password is due to change in 12 days- it has gotten so ridiculous the parameters you must meet for your password I got it down pack now- as long as I donโ€™t run out of colors and professional sport team names I can last until seven more years until retirement

DaCool

@maxleibman In a similar vain.

Had a lock screen pin with 9 digits on my work-supplied Android.

Outlook on that phone demanded a safer pin for the device, the last 4 digits were descending. Apparently a big no-no.

Tried only the first four digits of that same pin, it worked.

Now my work phone only has a 4 digit pin because modern big-corpo digital security is a circus show.

@DaCool I was actually thinking about the PIN rules for our MDM when I thought of the faces joke. We have a similar ruleโ€”a six-digit PIN is required, but you can't have three or more consecutive ascending or descending digits. (And not just sequentialโ€”"981" would trip the rule.)

No, despite how often I invoke the hashtag, I am not an #infosec professional, but: if you are constrained to a universe of only a million possible PINs, why eliminate tens (hundreds?) of thousands of possibilities?

DaCool

@maxleibman When people busy themselves writing "guidelines" instead of, gee, making this stuff secure and convenient on a factual basis.

<Insert Password XKCD here>

My workplaces larger overlord org still uses the abysmal "Use a new password every X months" rule despite all IT's petitions and recommendations of MS and standardisation bodies against it.

Ticking checkboxes instead of making an actual effort always rubs me wrong.

Caddi

@martyn infosec information for you

Caddi

@martyn can I reuse. If so I'll just turn round and use the eyes in the back of my head! (not two faced). ๐Ÿ˜‚

Chaotic Natural 20

@maxleibman your new face must contain at least one non-alphanumeric character, but we won't tell you which ones are special and will break our servers.

I tried to set a face that would take about 14 million years to brute force crack.
Now it's stuck that way.

Please note that we have updated our security policy to accommodate Appleโ€™s Vision Pro and OpticID:

If you use OpticID to unlock a device with access to corporate data, you must change your retina at least once every sixty days.

You may not re-use any of your most recent 12 eyeballs.

@maxleibman Lawyers and politicians start with a bonus face each, so they're ahead of the game.

Angus Marshall

@maxleibman Your face must include at least one eye and one nostril and one special expression.

Martin Hamilton

@maxleibman I wonder if your faceprint could include a <special object> which you have to hold up when unlocking? aka Multi-Factor FaceID ๐Ÿง

This is no problem.

I already have an "excited to be here!" to "what the fuck am I doing here?" 12-month gradient of faces

@maxleibman For some folks I've worked with that wouldn't be a problem.

Excuse me big fellow, are you too fat for that burger?
