Forced Password Change
Hi All,
I know that this is going to be unpopular, but to maintain the security of the server and the various other sites that operate from this server, I've had to activate a feature that forces you all to change your password every 180 days. In addition to this, your password must contain a mix of letters and numbers.
This is non-negotiable and whilst I know it's a pain, it only happens every 6 months from today, so I've made it as infrequent as is advisable.

Re: Forced Password Change
Obviously you missed this:
Forcing the use of numbers and caps is really irritating. One of my pet peeves.

Re: Forced Password Change
I'm not actually upset. It just forced me to update my old, previously hacked, password to my current one, which is very complicated.

Re: Forced Password Change
Me and my roomate were talking about that XKCD strip recently when we were setting up the wireless at the house. I couldn't remember the Troubadour (fuck your symbolsnumbers) example but damned if we both didn't go "CORRECT HORSE BATTERY STAPLE" when I suggested just using a passphrase instead of a ~20-bit random string.
It was awesome.

Re: Forced Password Change
My wireless password is too offensive and inappropriate to post here.
