The cruise booking hacks caught my attention...

In any case, I still find myself removing sticky notes on monitors with passwords. One time, I caught them mass producing login credentials on avery label sheets. I nearly lost it on the poor reception staff.

I used to keep a fake password sticky on my monitor to make people like you lose it. :)

It would take some work, but I'd really love to have a password that, if entered, would trigger an alert (and maybe power off the machine or something). Then put that booby-trapped password on a bit of paper and stick it under your keyboard or wherever.
