Corporate Paranoia

It seems that with every new job I start, the amount of passwords I have to memorize grows. This time it has gotten ridiculous! I now have to use twelve different passwords/codes just to function in the print shop. Twelve! I feel like I spend more time logging in than working.
Twelve password that change on a regular basis and can not be repeated. And, of course, we are forbidden from writing them down or keeping track of them in any way. I cheat because there is no way I could ever keep them all in my head.
I understand the need for security but it has gotten out of hand.
