We'd really like to refresh this discussion as well.....15 characters -
no complexity - change every 128 days - last 5 passwords are
retained....

What are others doing?  Is everyone else still at 6-8 characters?

Thanks....

This has gone around a few times in the past but I am looking for fresh
results.

What is your stance on student passwords?  Do you make them change their
password every X number of days?  Complexity rules? Etc.

Thanks.
