So, really, you should change a password regularly if:
- The password is weak
- It is ever reused
- Anyone else has access to it
- You use it on a device you don't control
- You use it on a device which might be running malware and can intercept it
- It was stored insecurely
- PopAlongKid 5y ago>Anyone else has access to it While sharing passwords is never a good idea, sometimes it is necessary. For example, I am the treasurer of a non-profit organization, an elected position that rotates every two years. We have a savings account at a credit union that for a variety of reasons requires online access by multiple individuals who change over time. The only way to keep this even a little secure over time is to require a password change every time someone drops off the authorized access list. There could also be software licensing issues that lead to multiple users sharing a login for software, same thing applies.
- ozim 5y agoThat is totally reasonable scheme if amount of people with access is restricted to something like 5 and you always know when someone drops off.
