Re: Password reset/expiration policies

[Colleen Keller <ckeller () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Hi Louis,
There are several password policies listed here http://www.educause.edu/Resources/Browse/Password%20Policies/33329 that 
discuss expiration length etc. See the "Policies" tab to view all the password policies.
Please let me know if you have any questions, thank you.

Hi

How often do you force password changes at your institutions for central credentials?  Do you have different policies 
for different groups?  Are they enforced by technology or just "suggested best practices"?
