Forced to change password/ MSE

Your password is 5 days old, and has therefore expired.

Please change your password using this page.

I wonder how often we are going to be forced to change our password!!!

Same here, 5 days. Forced to change password after 5 days? Are you kidding? Even high security MoD sites don't require that.

Me too, changed it last week and now again after only 5 days - surely this can't be right. It will drive us all mad if we have to change it every 5 days.

Constant password changing is becoming ridiculous now.


What is going on?

You can change it to the same password you already had if that helps.

It's a pathetic waste of time anyway since you don't even have to change your password, you can just re-use your existing one.


So now in the name of 'security' I've re-used my old password twice on an unsecured web page.
Come on MSE, admit it, this is nothing more than some poorly executed box ticking exercise. You don't want some bored journalist coming along in a few years and spilling the beans.
Or maybe it's an attempt my the masters at Moneysupermarket to trim some of the excess users here.

What is more ridiculous is the fact that nobody from MSE Towers has answered any of the concerns raised in this thread :mad:
