[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1824353, member: 175845"] How can I [I][B]PLEASE[/B][/I] get such an account, and if I could get one that never needs to be changed I would be even more grateful. I doubt that the policy will change here, but there ane no proven mathematical reasons for making a password change every X amount of days etc. more secure. Even old articles said the practice is outdated: [url=https://lifehacker.com/how-often-should-i-change-my-passwords-5966214]How Often Should I Change My Passwords?[/url] Or: [I][B]Please Forget to Change Your Password Every 90 Days It's Time to Rethink Password Management Best Practices[/B][/I] [url=https://www.securitymagazine.com/articles/88771-please-forget-to-change-your-password-every-90-days]Please Forget to Change Your Password Every 90 Days | 2018-03-01 | Security Magazine[/url] Think about it for a bit, but I doubt that the policy will change for a long time at most places. EDIT: It seems that Knute was busy typing at the same time I was and on the same line of thinking as well, but beat me to the posting wall. PS: There is no proven valid logic showing a single password getting changed every x amount of time increases one's security prptection. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
