**basilyoung** · 23-02-11, 20:29

we are all asked to change our passwords every 100 days in order to maintain a respective level of security on the forum. after all how many people use the exact same password / username combination and never bother to change them ?. this is done for both your and our benefit.

And be thankful you don't upset an Admin.
Or they will make you change your password every login.

I know I do at work if someone upsets me!

Its an extra level of security, surely its not too much for your brain to handle is it?

You could always revert back to your old one if you so wish.

Because this is the rules! Surely your brain can handle a new password every 90 days?

Hi
Normally people have to accept Forum rules when their sign in.

It´s also for Your own security.
