Change password after 90 days?

[Markshall]

I'm aware that this isn't a bug as such, but it's the most appropriate place I think of placing this.

Anyway, I understand that RaGEZONE is only looking out for user safety, but the whole "change your password after 90 days" thing is really annoying as it means remembering a new password, which I personally am not very good with.

Is there no way of disabling this in user preferences?

I've seen these complaints time after time.... just go through with it. Trust me i had to change like 10 times now and its annoying but its not going anywhere.

I usually drop my age behind my old password and the other time my year of birth =P easy !

Not a bad idea

i think this is due (if no one said it yet) to the hacking that has happened in the past so doing this sort of secures us some more.

Yeah I had to change it too but there's a backdoor to it...change it to a random one then manually change it again back to your normal one in your UserCP

u can also change it to anything then change it back to ur old password
like piggy said.

Yea, just change it back once you've done the process, then you're happy and we're happy!

For someone with "PHP Coder" under his username, you aren't really smart. I mean, how hard is it to think about to change it back to your old password?
@everyone else who thinks that changing it back to your old password, stop. Enough users have said that.

You have 'Shake it' under your username, I think wobble would be more appropriate.

I personally think that it's silly that we have to change our passwords every 90 days. If you have a lengthy and secure password, there's no reason that you should be forced to change it, and remember something completely different. On top of that, it's just an annoyance.

How does remembering a string relate to coding in PHP?

You know the password could be 100000000 strings long and it could still be stolen. If a user is keylogged or our login system is being logged then your password means jack poop.

Its a precaution to protect every single user. If a member finds it hard to think of a new combination every 90 days then maybe you should start going back to potato school.
