    Password Change.

    This is not a complaint but I`m posting it in case. When I logged on just now I was informed that my password was xxx days in use and now expired so I lodged a new password. Is this standard security practice?

          This is why I enabled this. People forget their password, use cookies, keep the same password as all their other email accounts, etc. and they wonder why their account has been hacked or logged into by another user.

          Better security for yourselves and less hassle for me!

          If your password is 200+ days old, that's a prime example.

            This is a good idea, I think your password/log in details should be changed every 3 months or so.

              Problem almost solved then. By almost I mean that while trying to post in another forum I have been logged out and had to re-enter. Spooky. Maybe one for the paranormal forum?

                        yes a very good idea, my account got hacked some time ago, it caused nothing but trouble for me and dk admin, i wont go into detaills because its in the past, but take it from me its worth the minute or so it takes to change your password, also make it as complicated and as long as possible using upper case, lower case, and numbers.

                              No not being funny or anything, just for example:

                              If the person knew him and his password was say 2 diggits, fine

                              BUT

                              If it was a stranger, and his password was 16 didgits, then makes
                              you think, is any password safe you use?

                              If he don't want to answer, don't worry.

                              Was talking to somebody who was Faceache site, whatever hacked their password was 6 didgits lon, that's all.

                              Not intreasted in hacking GMB45 as there is no 'Delete all usres posts' button
