NO, please do NOT tell me the password!
If you have always wondered what those are probably for people who are supposedly "important information" of their Bank fall for, in which they are invited by e-mail, "must be at least 20 TANs their online banking list" input rather than "do not work otherwise your account would" should get to know Mrs. T..
Mrs. T. is working as a secretary in the Board of reports and thus as a trusted voice of every computer problem of their superiors to us. They usually do this by mail, which - at least acoustically - is pleasant, because the sound of her voice can mess up one day. Could speak a naked mole rat, his voice sounds quite similar.
Ms. T reported this time is that because "constantly asking for some username and password. That is gone!" and type neatly Message from the entire screen. I have given up long ago to remind them that a screenshot would be mutually agreeable and read resignation:
"The proxy server ... expects to enter your user data
username. Mmuster
Password: xxxxxx As
Mrs. T. but probably even recognize that this "xxx", so do not meet the password, which they always enter their superiors, they still wrote good behind it:
"The password is Sunflower Mfg. Mrs. T.."

"Well, I thought you should know that" attempts to appease Mrs. T..
With a few clicks, I have determined the cause and off: Once again a Logitech program which unasked become embedded in the Windows startup, has so it can check for updates every hour. In addition, I note, however, that it is the Blackberry software has made comfortable there for the same reasons and offer to Mrs. T., and turn off this automatic update checking. "Yes, that would be great, right?" enthusiastically trumpeted it from the handset. "To do this, but would have to use the e-mail password by Mr M. entered in the window, because otherwise I can not configure the program" I tell her, pointing with the mouse pointer to the already eagerly popped window. "Yes, the e-mail password? This is ..." "No, Mrs. T., please share it with me NOT to give it your just a …"
Obwohl es mich zumindest privat interessiert hätte, wie es wohl lautet. "winterbaum"? Noch interessierter wäre ich allerdings an seiner EC-Karte - den PIN dazu würde ich von Frau T. ja sicher problemlos bekommen - aber bitte per Mail.
