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.

If you want to reuse a previous password, you'll need to change your password cinco times, then change it to your previous password on the sixth change. T-Mobile stores the past five passwords, and doesn't allow you to reuse any of them.
This is actually the best answer to work-around Tmo's broken password requirements. Yes, it is a HUGE 15min time-wasting pain-in-the-arse. At least you get to keep YOUR password instead of inventing new ones everything they decide you need to.
