    Default Re: Password expiry ???

    Mine said 813 days, but I remember deliberately resetting it at that time. It wasn't a site request.

    Shame on all of you!

    Don't start telling me you use the same Password everywhere else too.
    That is why some long-term users accounts were having to be blocked as they had been hacked.

    here is a freebie that will fit onto any device or stick.
    Unzip strongpw.zip. It is 20kB.
    Store on your PC, Tablet, Smartphone or Stick

    It is a single HTM file holding innocuous site URLs in a List.
    You can append to the list (copy a line and paste after the last one; change Seed, URL & Display).
    The URL need not be the login page but that can be handy. You still need to remember your Login/UserName for each. If worried, make that the Seed with a few extra characters.
    Remember to save your copy of this file after making changes.

    In use, I have an easy to remember Master password, to which I then add a suitable date, yyyymmdd.
    This would allow me to alter password daily. As if! It does allow you to change frequently and not all at once.
    I might have several such PW generator files and bucket sites that need changing every 3, 6 or 12 months or whatever frequency keeps you safe.
    You can keep the date on a scrap or paper, diary or file. You keep your Master password in you head.
    This is a form of two factor authentication: something you know & something you have.

    Got to create a UN/PW on the fly?
    Open https://ss64.com/pass/ and instead of your normal Master password, type in the site name.
    In the Custom box, add your default username or one you know you can remember for a day or two, with the date appended yyyymmdd and Generate.
    Complete your login.
    As you usually have to provide your email, you will have a record of the Site and Date, enough to reconstruct your ad-hoc Password.
    Remember to change it by using the Forgot my Password provision.

    I use a Password Manager but have this as a fall-back.
