[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1104510, member: 39702"] I work in industry, and while I do use a PC at work, majority of my colleagues don't. It makes sense for me to have my account well protected because sometimes I use it to login on a PC. But, as I said, majority of my colleagues never use PC because they aren't doing job that requires it. In fact, all they have is a private phone with their work e-mail on it; which is used exclusively for getting company news and rare communication with other departments. Nothing else. Now... is it really necessary, for those whose job doesn't include using a PC and only have basic e-mail address on their own phone used for non-important things, to have the same strong and complex security requirements as me? I really don't think so. Talking with those people I found out that the most of them doesn't even use PC at home, some don't even own it. They just use phones/tablets and that's all they really need. So I think simple password and 2FA are more than enough for these accounts. No need to change the password every 90 days. In fact, even for an important accounts, password + 2FA is all you need.
