There is no reason whatsoever that you can consider a password "safe" for 179 days, and not for 181 days.
Just because there's a tickbox in your admin dashboard in this very outdated forum software which turns on a stupid feature, you don't need to tick it.
Xara is so hard up that it's about to start renaming its products again, so perhaps we can crowd fund the licence fee for a new version of vBulletin. I'll put in $50 to start.
Daniel, if you wish to PM me, I will provide chapter and verse around the necessity for having a Password Reset. I was amongst the most vocal in pushing for a stricter one and the 180-day limit was longer than personally was after.

Your conflation with Xara's poor product naming does not develop your argument and I have seen no recent signs for another name fest.
If there was a later vBulletin version that Xara would fund, we could be less draconian but we have what we have. For one, I would match your contribution. Xara has chosen not to move up to vBulletin Cloud ($30/m) despite Mod pressure.
Yes, it is very old. No, it is not a 'tickbox' exercise.
It is not your password safety you need to worry about, it is the abuse from other accounts that wish to exploit lax password management, amongst other matters.
