szpon@szpon Security experts don't pay me enough to quit my job or even buy a pack of gummies!
Scott Wilson@Anibyl I believe the correct answer is 0!
NIST published guidance in 2024 advising that you don’t need to change your password that frequently.
I Thought I Saw A 2 
@scottwilson @Anibyl I say 0 as well. Assuming the password is strong (which can be a big assumption) there is no need to change it on a regular basis. However the moment the password is compromised or you believe it might be compromised you MUST change it.
@scottwilson @Anibyl The only time I think routine password changes are useful is for shared workplace accounts. Yes, you shouldn't share accounts but everyone does it at work. Sometimes it's just because the company won't pay for another license. Employees leave all the time and since you don't know who knows all these shared passwords you should change them regularly to prevent access by former employees.
S38This is one reason to occasionally change your password. It ensures that you know how to change it when needed.
It also helps to ensure you know everywhere it might be used.
I'm not a fan of forced password changes, especially without warning or time to prepare a new good password.
@scottwilson Cheers!
Bold of them to assume I can remember a lengthy passphrase.
@Anibyl LOL absolutely fair
