When was the last time you got that not too friendly message stating that your password has expired and asking you to change it? Probably only a few weeks ago, and just as sure as day follows night, it is going to appear again only too soon. At least that is the typical user’s point of view. Security conscious administrators see this differently: they seem to think that passwords become weaker over time, like human beings growing old, and therefore force a rejuvenation process every couple of weeks. But is that really necessary? I do not think so.
