Importance of Password Expiration | Don’t have it – Why Not?

Importance of Password Expiration


The importance of password expiration is an interesting topic for me.  It’s all over the place online – and rightfully so.  There are tons of questions floating around out there: what is the best duration for a password, should be the same expiration rate for each user, is password expiration beneficial.  It can sometimes be a bit overwhelming to look at.  That being said: there are also areas surrounding the importance of password expiration that are somewhat debated (much like the last question above). In that regard, I would like to take a look at an older article I found interesting and debate some of the claims therein.  Catch up after the jump!
