What Are You Doing Right Now

@gjacobse Wave your right hand three times. Scratch your nose with your left foot's pinkie toe. Deep fry a virgin chicken by the light of a wooden candle. Hop backwards three times on your left foot. Hold your breath for 3 minutes and 47 seconds. Then punch in the new code?

Just had a thought - add a button on the UAC box to allow admin actions for #minutes

That would require encrypting a temp file with the local (or domain) admin credentials for a period of time.
Which isn't impossible, but is impractical. If you were working remotely on a system for a user, and granted this access for lets say 30 minutes.
That user could easily disconnect you, and have free reign on the system to add a new local administrator. Effectively stealing the computer.

@DustinB3403 Sigh, I guess. I was thinking more like 5 minutes but considering your reply I agree with you. It'd be a real risk.

Would it? In the UNIX world they have long had this and it is just a timer.

Arguing with AT&T again because they still have not forwarded the calls for my client,

I sent in an Echo feature request to Amazon last night and they responded this morning with "we've never heard this one and we love it - we are looking into it!" How cool is that?

That's what I was basing it off, I'm not sure how it would work, nor do I really care TBH. Just be so handy, especially with the really long PW's we all have to use.

I don't need a password when using UAC. What is causing that?

Long passwords... yeah I totally agree "Password12345678" is tedious to have to type over and over...

@DustinB3403 /me looks around for something to hit you with
-
hahah
-
Me right now...
-
@scottalanmiller What feature did you request?
-
@DustinB3403 No, no no... You gotta make it secure... it should be "Password 12345678!"
-
I thought it had to be un-remember-able, or at least un-guessable.
"My password is 12345678!"

Pouring rain just started here. Glad to be living where there is rain again. I've missed that.
-
You'd thinking living in a rain forest that I would have seen some rain, but no.
-
@DustinB3403 Just make your password "incorrect"
8-)
