TopicI hate the day you change your work password.

As a domain admin, you can go into Active Directory and "reset your password" to what it currently is when it's about to expire and reset the timer. This method also bypasses the "can't set your password to anything you've used in the last X amount of passwords" policy.

Anyway, the new standard these days is to use multi-factor authentication and stop forcing users to change their password every X amount of days. It's much more secure and less annoyance for the end user.

Ahh, the life being a domain admin. Although the tradeoff is, as you mentioned, I have to reauthenticate via text about 14 times across all my different devices every time I renew my old password, so it's almost as annoying.
