Really?? New password every ten days? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

RogueGypsy · 12-23-2010, 11:10 AM

Maybe I just haven't posted enough to have access to the "Secrets of the Universe" section. But as far as I can tell there is nothing here to warrant me changing my password every ten days.

I haven't even seen anything in any ones profile that would raise any security concerns if spread over the internet.

So please explain or cease and desist.

Rogue.. the only prompt to my knowledge was a short time ago for the Gawker hack. Everyone's passwords were reset as we'd rather be safe than sorry. Other than that 1 instance, please let myself or another admin know if you are getting continual password change prompts because they are not coming from us.

I received this prompt recently too. Maybe Cyn could look into the settings.

Yeah, I got the one after the Gawker hack and thought it was going to become an annual thing, which I do anyway, so no big deal.

But today I logged on and got "your password has expired, it's 10 days old"

Thought maybe this was going to become a new procedure here. I have enough trouble coming up with creative content, the added pressure of a new PW every ten days would probably make my head explode.

No my fault. I was supposed to reset it yesterday and I was too busy last night. I'm doing it now.

should be fixed now. Thanks RG. It was set to 10 for 2 groups because I figured if I got busy someone would chime in and force me to stop what I am doing to fix it back.
