  • What is this nonsense? I only changed my password last week and just changed it back to what it was so not much use if you can reuse. But why 5 days?

    Same here

    A total farce seeing as you can just enter the same password again

    That's good to know, I hate coming up with new passwords and once a week is going to be a complete pita.

    Anyway same for me, had to change password again today after 5 days, come on MSE there's no need for that.

    Just changed mine again as well after 5 days, this is becoming a nuisance.

    Any chance the lofty ones in the Towers would actually tell us what's going on?

    "your password in 5 days old and has therefore expired" (my emphasis)

    What's next, change it every minute ?

    I "changed" it to the same one. Sort it out MSE.
  • Yep just had to change mine, 5 days and apparently expired! Not a happy bunny.

  • Are you serious?

    I change my password 6 months ago...

    I change my password a few days ago....

    Now I have to reset AGAIN!!!!!

    I am awaiting two things...

    1) A half-hearted apology and no real explanation from MSE

    2) a message on my screen..."Your password is 5 minutes old and had therefore expired"!!!!!

    Come on!....April Fools is a couple of months away yet!

    Same problem. Password expired after 5 days. Rather ridiculous IMO.
  • Me too! Bit daft.
