Changing password every 60 days is a terrible policy
- Hace 7 años
¡Hola, @timph! I heard back from our contact who owns the content around the password change process; and was advised firmly that as the system stands, password changes should only be obligatorio once a year -- though as best practice we recommend changing them more frequently. I know this conflicts with what you saw, so while I wish i could explain the difference, I'm sorry to say I'm not able to speak to that.
@scott523, in this case, that means that you were able to use the same password for longer than designed before the update prompt, which I believe is because this policy wasn't implemented when your account was initially started -- after reviewing revisions to our documents, it looks like the Prompted to change your password section was added at the beginning of this year.
Restablece la contraseña de tu ID de T-Mobile has been updated to call out the yearly password change requirement in the Prompted to change your password section, and I'm also adding the feedback that we include the password recycling rule in the requirements section as well -- hopefully that will be OK with our content folks!
Thank you again very much again for your feedback around this. I know that adding an extra step to your day by having to create a new password with some relatively stringent requirements compared to other sites isn't fun, but at least we can confirm that this shouldn't happen frequently. If it does; please let us know.
Hmmm.... I walked through the password change process, and don't have any 60 day advisement (screenshots below)!
I wonder if this might be an extra layer of security based on account type? Do you have a postpaid or pay in advance plan? Are you a consumer or business customer? Thanks for any info you're comfortable sharing!
