I believe its once a month for members right?

I've only changed mine when I've changed it by personal choice, and I joined in March 05.

We don't have to change our password at all, anyway thats not the problem, I'm complaining that we can never re-use one (assuming that no-one would be sad enough to stay on here for 9 years)

Wait so I don't get it then...you don't need to change your password, if you were changing it why would you change it to something you already used if you could use the same one? If its a security concern, obviously the old one isn't safe either...

I only change my password when i forget it.

Staff get forced to change their passwords after a certain amount of time by the options set on the forums. Depending on the risk factor of your account being stolen and what could be accessed on the forums is what determines how frequent the forums force staff change their pass.

I have to agree with NVR and that if you need to change your current account pass then your previous pass is also a risk. If you are not changing for safety reasons then no idea why you changed your pass to a new one and then want to change it back in the first place.

I suggest a new pass would be better for you :)

Random password generators are the way to go. Here's one I use a lot.

I have never been forced to change my password by any forum options. I change mines once every 2 months ;)
Good Idea to change it after what has happened to some www.habboxlive.com Staff.
