    30 day password change

    Guys,

    Can you please turn this annoying "feature" off? It's a pain in the backside changing the password every 30 days - especially as all my passwords are auto-filled by the browser. It's hard enough keeping track of all my passwords as it is without the additional "benefit" of having to change it.

    Off-putting enough for me to not visit the forum as often as I'd like to.

    Thanks

    Since the last reminder to update my P/W I have problems logging in the board will not accept my P/W even though it is correct.
    I am directed to the splash screen as I have entered the wrong P/W I then enter my P/W and it is accepted.
    When I log in again I have to go through the same process again a total pain

    we had a similar thread when it was first introduced. In my humble opinion the hassle of having to change my password every 30 days is massively out ways the wealth of knowledge and experience this forum posses.

    i myself rotate 2 similar passwords so i don't forget them...

    Most user just change password to a temp one and then immediately and change it back the normal one.
    There is no security gained here.
    Use something like 2 factor auth if you want real security or give a notice to all admins and mods that they have to change passwords but for users it's just a not needed inconvenience.

    We all go through the same pain, but it's worth it.
    Discussion brought up many times. Less spam posts, less CS posts, less clone fools looking for support.
    A slight inconvenience is worth more than the above pains to provide propper support.

    A bit nasty to call clone users "fools" My first box was clone 800se, where I was assisted on other forums. The box is still going strong without fault for 3 - 4 years now, unlike the junky Venton HD2 sourced from sponsor which has been nothing but trouble from the start. My Vu Duo, also from sponsor is flawless, but not any better than my clone.

    we choose NOT to support clones or their users here, which is our rite, so end of discussion.

    If you don't like what I post, Don't read it.

    SIMPLES.

    With respect pheonix,

    I merely stated the fact that a clone buyer or user is not automatically "a fool"

    Perhaps financial circumstances dictate such a purchase. You will note at no time did I suggest support for clones. Clone users will, no doubt, be well aware where to get that.

    Regards
