The conventional wisdom from identity management and security wonks is that you should change your passwords frequently. WiseGeek puts it at once every three months. Some say as often as every day. But is it practical?
With an ever-growing number of work applications, social networking and cloud computing sites to log in for, and a unique password for each one, changing passwords can be a time-consuming, frustrating process. Ideas like implementing a national “Change Your Password Day” sound great to those of us who live and breathe security awareness, but is it a practical idea?
