Should the code be the minister’s middle name?

There’s a lot of things at a church which require codes. 

Security systems.
Access doors.
Computers.
Door locks.

It’s not unusual that the code on some of these devices will be set by a minister.

But, I wonder about the wisdom of a minister setting the code to something with personal significance for them.

It doesn’t matter if it’s their birthday, middle name or childhood pet.

What happens if the church is then stuck with this code?

As nice as it may be for the minister to type “fluffy123” to gain access to the church computer, reminiscing about the kitten they had as an eight year old, I expect that the charm will be lost on the next minister.

Sure, most passwords can be easily reset, but for some things, like security systems, it may not be such an easy process.

Furthermore, should a new minister be expected to reset passwords in order to not remember the first mobile number of their predecessor?

I admit, this isn’t the biggest transgression going around in Christendom, but these personal encodings may well expose shortsightedness because a minister wanted to be cute or memorable.

Surely a mixture of the suburb, church name, postcode or last digits of the phone number are better, longer-lasting, options for churches.
