Everyone in my unit has had to register with a certain company's website for access to stuff we need for our work.
They recognized, when they wrote this software, that sometimes people work from home vice office, or they may travel. So for verification, we can provide two phone numbers.
When you change your password, they call one of those numbers, your choice, and ask you to hit the pound key to authorize the change.
I don't have a cell, I never work from home, and I never take my laptop on business trips. So I effectively had a surplus phone number.
And I just happened to have the boss' phone number at hand...
So every time I change passwords, I can have it call his number two or three times, before telling it to call my desk phone so I can continue with my work.
Boss is not actually part of 'the unit,' so he never had to acquire access to the LMS. He has no idea what this acronym is or why it's asking him to press pound. At first he thought it was his kids' school, with an important message, so he hit pound for me. But there was never a following message...
Oh! Twenty to eleven! Time for the pre-lunch password shift!
