[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1104499, member: 39702"] My company pushes this and I hate it. Every three months my password expires and I need to set a new one. Because of this, majority of colleagues never know their password. Some write it down in the notes app or on a piece of paper and keep it in their wallets. The rest regularly visits the IT which are certainly losing their heads over this, but hey, they implemented that measure, not us... 😁 And yes, because three months is relatively short period of time, we constantly set unsecure and easy to remember passwords (usually a name, numbers and a symbol). Recently, company started using 2FA (we're using Microsoft 365) and people are even more confused now. 95% of employees have no idea what 2FA is, all they know is they have an app with some kind of code which they don't know how to use. I thought we're gonna get rid of annoying password expire policy, but of course we didn't. [/QUOTE]
