Do You Require Users to Change Their Passwords?
By requiring users to change their passwords, you can make sure that if someone learns someone
else’s password, there is a limited time during which they can get unauthorized access to the
system. Users who access the system’s most sensitive data should be required to change their
passwords often. Least-trusted users should also be required to change their passwords fairly
often.
