Topic for debate: changing passwords	by nix	2005-05-16 11:03:40
Part of it	by Didactylos	2005-05-16 11:25:58
is to force users to think of stronger passwords. Your pet's name and anniversary will only last so long.... Given that a strong password policy is in place, a password change policy will reduce the probability of an offline brute force attack succeeding. This is because strong passwords take (on average) a very long time to break. Weak passwords can be broken in milliseconds.
