Change your password every 90-days

FirstClass, Home Server and other system passwords should be changed at least once every 90-days. Our auditors recommended 90-days for password expiration, but we think you should change them even more often.

Do you want someone to read your email or look at your sensitive documents?

If you said no, then change your passwords. If someone has your password, they can assume your identity (this would only be good if they did some of your work).
