Hi Brian, I've seen some schools move from a 90 to a 180 and ask for more complexity. Just changing the language from password to passphrase seems to have a good effect. Luck, Buz Kellogg, Brian D. wrote:
A couple questions: 1. Do most enforce password expirations? I came from a large corporation and they enforced a 90 day password expiration policy. It seemed to have the effect of making passwords less secure as most would write them down in obvious places. 2. Do most enforce a strong password policy? 3. Any other recommendations/insights along this line would be helpful. Thanks, Brian
