Password hygiene: personal and not too old, just like a toothbrush
This post is over 5 years old, it may be out of date.
The RU has recently held a Treat your password like your toothbrush campaign. C&CZ too will act on old passwords: IT contacts will get a list of their users that have not changed their Science password in years. Old Science passwords do not have the most recent encryptions, therefore we would like to see them changed to remedy this. Even choosing a new Science password that is the same as the old one, helps to get rid of old password encryptions but please do choose a new password. Science passwords can be changed at the Do-It-Yourself website. When changing a password, please consider beforehand which (also private) devices will automatically keep on trying the old password, in order to prevent any inconvenience.
