As the admin you should fix onedrive seamless sso so th yr don’t need to worry about signin.
Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why
phanto@lemmy.ca 11 hours agoAdmin here! OneDrive synced home folders at work. Everyone ignores saving because ‘autosave’. Once a week at least, some staff member spends hours on something after the mandatory 90-day password change, never signed back in to OneDrive, and gets to kiss all that work goodbye. Also, once a quarter at least, someone was working on a document shared to the by an employee who just quit, so we have to frantically ‘unfire’ someone’s account so the suddenly missing document can be retrieved.

If it’s something I care about, code and scripts I use for my admin stuff, it’s on GitHub. Stuff that I will keep when I leave or get fired/laid off. The stupid bullshit paperwork for work, can’t care less if onedrive eats it. But I know exactly what you are talking about, been there and done that.

I imagine that’s really only a concern for admins and less so for the end-user.

No, it’s end-user panic. “That report me and Bob were working on? It’s gone! Emergency! Panic!”

Not only is it panic, but by the time you’re looped in it’s already half way up the management chain and you can’t see the end of the cc list.

90-day password changes?? You monster!!
phanto@lemmy.ca 9 hours ago
sigh I know. It’s my boss that implemented the policy… But it was after she audited password ages and a dictionary and found that CompanyName123 was universal and for years at a stretch.

Ah, such nostalgia. I used a complex password until they forced monthly resets on us and I forgot mine a few times. After that, “FuckingPassword1”, “FuckingPassword2”, FuckingPassword3" etc with a mysterious post-it note on my table with a single number. Very memorable, still remember it well after a decade.
