Just got a notice when I signed in that my password is 30 days old and expired.
WTF??????????????????
Had to jump through a bunch of hoops just to get back here.

I don't mind the password change process but I have a limited number of passwords I use. At once a month I'm gonna run out long before 3333 days go by. If Ed would quit hacking into the place and screwing up the hard wiring, this wouldn't be necessary

This is a Test... For some reason I did not get the change password info.

Okokokokokokokokokokokok!!!!

I set it up for 30 days when the super-hack hit last month.
I (we) can change it.

I'll work on changing that to a bit longer sometime this week.
Not gonna try to do it from my iPhone.

If one of the other Admins would like to change it before I can they are welcome to do so.

Yeah - then when I did change it I obviously forgot to check the "remember me" box so I had to sign in again... Life shouldn't be this hard.. Now I need a nap.

Done. I set it to 180 days for registered users.

We just need to make sure all admins are using complex passwords. NUmbers upper case and special characters, one each. That should keep us as protected as we can be.

I hope none of us Dufes have to get on OBummers health care site. Sounds like it would drive some of us Postal if this simple password update is causin' this much trouble.
Take Care, Captain

Not a conspiracy. But required silliness, I guess. It took me forever to remember what my password was to sign in on my phone. You guys want us senile people to yak it up here, you gotta make it easier. But don't want Spammers either. So, I understand it's a conundrum.
