        Year? It’s like 90 days most places.

          the least I’ve seen was 6 months. If I had to change passwords every 90 days I’d spam them with articles showing this is idiotic every month.

            Yet I have done, it doesn’t work. Because what do I know? I only work in cyber security it’s only my job. I’m sure Bernard the C-Suite middle manager knows better, pay no attention to all the ask toolbars he has installed.

      A security feature of our system is that if you don’t know what you’re doing you’ll break it so bad IT will be called right away.
