I was prompted to change my password last week after years of using the same one. Today I was prompted again after 5 days!! I really don't want to change it every week.

Same here. I was prompted to change it 5 days ago and just now when refreshing a page I was asked to change it again. Five days expiry is absurd.Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.0 -
My mse password was completely different to anything else I use, but if I have to keep changing it every few days it's going to end up as "password" or something similar.0

Just got the 5 day warning as well,absolutely ridiculous if we're expected to change passwords in less than a week0

Same here, changed it recently and got told again after 5 days to change it again. Absolutely ridiculous.0

me too, change again after 5 days.
I assume this is an MSE forum team / webmaster cockup?The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....0 -
Got the prompt twice in short succession :mad:
Hit refresh and got back in without having to change or confirm or renew my password.
Still, I'm losing patience.What would Buzz do?
I used to be Snow White - but I drifted.0 -
I'm guessing the forum is not long for this world? Long term existing users will doubtless continue to change their password whenever prompted, but others will not be so likely.
Time to come clean "MSE Andrea", has the site been hacked?0
