Would his character name be Eric Snowden?

There is a line from my wife's favorite television show: "Please don't hurt my family." We have already worked out what to do and my family knows exactly what to do if I am ever taken hostage. Having a terminal diagnosis was so clarifying.

My boss was watching me log on one day. He asked "Is your password really ... ?" I admitted that it was. If ever I'm asked what my password is I can tell them and they still won't know what it is. The phrase is likely to get me struck in the face but so be it. They are not likely to use the exclamation point on the end even if I shout it out.

Are duress passwords and the like needed? The uncomfortable answer is YES. We used to be able to think that this was all fun and games and nothing like that would ever be needed. Times have changed.
