Forced changing of passwords
I agreee: To do this to protect *other* users will not work.
It's a different thing if you use it for protection of your own data...
True to an extent... but only if the frequency of changing the password
doesn't result in you doing something dumb to help you remember the
current password of the day - like writing it on a post-it and sticking
it underneath the keyboard... ;)
One of many reasons why I use a password manager (I prefer the
Passwordmaker firefox extension, even with all it warts - it only stores
settings, not the passwords themselves)...
But there are still only a couple of (critical) passwords I change
frequently (what I call frequently - every 3-6 months or more)...
