Windows 10. Microsoft has announced a very important change for the way passwords are managed by the operating system on users' computers, admitting a failure of its general policies. More precisely, Windows 10 is going to eliminate the policy by which users are obliged to change their passwords on computers once every 30 or 60 days, and this is because the security of the operating system is not improved by their existence.
Windows 10. Microsoft tried to force users to use hard-to-crack passwords for their computers, but that forced some people to write down their passwords so they wouldn't forget them, which kind of goes against the practice itself. Moreover, forcing people to change their passwords once every 30 or 60 days will only make them make minor changes so that Windows 10 accepts the change, most of which are predictable.
Windows 10. MAJOR CHANGE for your Passwords
Windows 10. Although there are situations when forcing a user to change their computer or online account password is very good, otherwise people struggle to remember complex passwords, which they change a little at short periods of time. Not only Windows 10 has policies of this kind imposed by the manufacturer, but also other operating systems, or websites, do exactly the same thing, but it is possible that everyone abandons the practices.
Some systems, in an effort to increase security, force users to change their passwords every 30 or 60 days. Microsoft, however, is dropping that policy in the next major Windows 10 update because studies now show that password expiration policies do nothing to enhance security after all.
Windows 10. Starting with version 1903 of the operating system, the obligation to change the administrator or user password once every 30 or 60 days will be eliminated, everything being done automatically by the American company. Of course, the setting could be disabled manually by Windows 10 users, but very few did it, mainly because they don't know how, but in the end it is completely removed directly by Microsoft.
Windows 10. Even if this policy of those from Microsoft is removed, the rest of the existing ones will still remain valid, so don't imagine that you will soon get rid of other changes that you don't like.
