"Don't bother updating your password regularly. Sites that require 90-day -- or whatever -- password upgrades do more harm than good. Unless you think your password might be compromised, don't change it."
Also: (I'm not allowed to paste links, so pls. also Google for the article "Changing Passwords" on Bruce Schneier's blog, Posted on November 11, 2010.) See the bottom line there.
So clearly, who designed BlackHatWorld Forum's annoying 'change your password' feature doesn't know that much about passwords and security than Bruce Schneier, the man.
That's not a big problem, we can always learn new things.
But hey! I sincerely hope you here know more about Black Hat SEO and whatnot, than password security.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Anyways, I entered my old password in the form, so requesting to change it was basically a useless exercise.
Ps. Pls. Also fix your forum engine that whenever I paste plain text from the clipboard, the cursor doesn't jump to the very end of the text box.
