My mail prompts me 'your password expires in 12 days. Please change the password.' This happens regularly and I have to change. The new password cannot resemble the old one. Wonder how that is checked? It must have small case, upper case, special characters and numbers and must be at least 6 characters in length. It must also be 'strong'. To top it all, there is no 'never expires' option! So how does one tackle this?
A good strategy is to have a password scheme which allows periodic changes without having to remember the password. The password can be say 'AugMonQ3wow!' or 'SepAutQ3Ahh!' . Here first three letters is month, next three letters is season, next two letters indicate quarter and then a three char expression followed by special char !. This was elaborated I think in one of the novels by Sidney Sheldon.

Tracy Whitney wants to draw out money that her bank rightfully owes her. And she was the one who deviced the password scheme for the bank based on seasons. It's from "If tomorrow comes"!
