Good afternoon everyone,

In today's world of knowledge workers having a multitude of devices used for accessing their work data, I would like 
know how strict you feel password policies should be to be able to accommodate this plethora of devices, accommodate a 
seamless password change process, and still be secure.  Items of particular interest are password/access controls 
specifically in regards to acceptable timeframes for password resets and number of failed login attempts.

Thanks all!

Neal
