The CEENet system is set up to automatically force password changes at six-month intervals.
Many users express discord at the process.
CEENet has not been prey to mischievous pranksters, and we hope to maintain that status. Password changes are a normal part of system security. A good password is not only good insurance for the system but for the user. Many users assume that someone would have to visually see their login and password in order to obtain it, which is a very naive assumption. There are programs available that can take a person's login and run through a dictionary of word, letter and name combinations for their password.
