[QUOTE="krs, post: 1824365, member: 67742"] That's one key thing I was getting at... what exactly is the user being protected from if someone cracks the password on a forum like this? Like I said - no other website, even websites like any of my financial institutions, and I use 8 different ones, requires a password change on a regular basis...or at all. Some have a bit more security where after the user name and password is entered correctly, one also has to correctly select one of sixteen pictures that the user had pre-selected, or the European account where even if someone gained access, they could not transfer any funds since they need a unique TAN for each transaction that only I have, but in most cases, it's user name and password, that's it. Out of interest - is any member here arectually accessing any website (other than this one) where a regular password change is mandated? [/QUOTE]
