Do we REALLY need regular passwords updates for HWZ Forums ?

[xonix]

First we were "FORCED' to change our passwords in a forum upgrade which did not carry forward existing passwords. Now we are "FORCED" to constantly change with a annoying reminder which cannot be dismissed ! We already have too many passwords in our daily life to remember, this is bloody annoying and unnecessary.

Ironically instead of a secure password, I might have to choose a password with a running number just so I don't run out of passwords to change

XXXXXXX_001 > XXXXXXX_002 >XXXXXXX_003 > XXXXXXX_004 >XXXXXXX_005 > XXXXXXX_006

THANKS FOR HELPING TO PROMOTE "BETTER SECURITY" FOR ALL !

Thanks for the feedback.

While to some extend that password changes is an annoyance, it is good practice that they are changed regularly to keep your account secure. I agree with you that it gets harder to remember your passwords as we grow older, have more pre occupied thoughts that takes up precious brain capacity and have more accounts to manage. I too face such issues and for that, you may consider to utilise a password manager to assist in that.
