Why Admins Can’t Choose Their Own Passwords at Comus

People really don’t know what’s good for them. I tell clients all the time: use a password manager, and make every password unique and complex. Do they listen? Rarely.

Put simply, about 60% of people whose passwords I know are neither unique nor complex.

At Comus, we handle sensitive data for every partner we onboard. Some sell thousands of tickets. Securing that data is our top priority.

That’s why we made a deliberate decision: admins cannot choose their own passwords. Every credential is generated by Comus. You can change it later, but only to another secure, complex password generated by the system.

Some early users pushed back. Some still grumble. We’re unapologetic. Protecting your data, and your customers’ data, comes first.

If you don’t like it: get a password manager, follow the rules, and stop pretending weak passwords are acceptable.
