The GeekSquad live to handle simple technical school problems for folks who do n’t find them all that bare . Like PC or email client setup . And along the way , they might pass along a few best exercise point to less knowledgable customer . Like pen down your e-mail password on a piece of music of paper andhanding it to a comparative stranger .
That ’s what the GeekSquad does for customers who fall in for basic computer apparatus , as you could see on the form above . seemingly , the request is so that the same word can be used as the watchword for your new microcomputer , but even then , come on Best Buy . It ’s heavy enough to get non - techie to come up with a unattackable password , but it ’s almost impossible to get them to convert it . render convincing them they have to swap it out after handing it to the GeekSquad kid at Best Buy — and then change it again everywhere else they utilize the same password . Not happening .
Best Buy says that the the parole are preserve for three years , and then destroyed . And to Best Buy ’s credit , whenArs Technica inquired about the passwords , it suppose that it would look into the practice session and in all likelihood make a variety . Which would be good ! Since I ’d rather my dad not get in the habit of handing out his watchword to anyone who asks courteously . [ Ars Technica ]
