Changing your password on a schedule?

[Lämmchen]

Have you ever considered changing your password on a schedule? When I worked, the company required us to change our passwords every 3 months. We couldn't even do anything until the password got changed.

I tend to rotate through my more commonly used accounts and change those passwords frequently, the rest I change when I feel it's been too long.

Smart move!! Do you write them down or use an app to keep track?

I use 1Password to keep them all organized

Not to be compared to using 1 password for all your passwords LOL

It's nice having one master password to remember, then every other password is unique.

I will admit, that I am guilty of not changing my password as frequently as I need to unless I have been alerted to do so due to an issue. I should really get into the habit of doing so but having the memory of a fish never helps and I would forget them if I changed them all the time LOL

We never do this at my current or previous online companies. They can only change the passwords if we quit the job and no longer want to work with them.
