Here at Magic 98.3 our IT guys usually remind us when our password for our email and login passwords are about to expire. They remind us every 90 days to use a password that would be difficult for hackers to figure out. We have to use capital letters, lower case letters, symbols, numbers and so on. It's so hack proof that I usual forget what password I brilliantly came up with and the IT department has to go into my computer to figure it out for me. (gives the IT guys something to do, ha)
