Yes, I find it kind of annoying when some websites or networks require you to change your password every few month. I think it also makes accounts less secure because people will not bother making stronger passwords since they change it next month, so people pick passwords like cat instead of AcB@82/1()&.

Yes. I can hardly remember all my passwords as it is..
if a password would change on me all the time, I'd most likely quit going to that site.

Yes, or use offline banking and go to a school that don't require you to change your password every few month.

The login password that require people to have numbers, special characters like #@%, upper case LETTERS, lower case letters and require people to change them regularly can be hard to remember.
