admin passwords

[vbscott]

We are a new community with a membership from an older community.

We just experienced a password reset for admins. We have a stable admin group and my question is as long as we have trusted admins without turnover is there any downside in not changing passwords on a routine basis. Does a password become less secure just because it is in use for a long period of time as long as the user of the password guards the use of it?

Thanks, Scott

A lot of posts today and so I am bumping mine up.

You'll be fine never updating or changing the password as long as the password is secure the first time around.

I've never changed my password on a forum I help admin for over 6 years now and there hasn't been a single issue ever with it.
