Neal,

We recently removed our password expiration requirement in conjunction with
the rollout of two-factor authentication.  The change had the double
benefit of improving our overall security (with two-factor) and generating
quite a bit of goodwill on campus.

Best regards,
Mike

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
