How often is too often to enforce password changes

by cass.harley . Updated 22 years, 9 months ago

I am working on a draft for a password policy for our firm (2 servers, 26 workstations, 10 remote users).

Previously the system had been very lax (I could guess most passwords, if I couldn’t guess them I just had to ask someone close by).

Passwords have been changed every 6 months.
I am not wanting to annoy the users too much by changing passwords too frequently.

Is 6 months too long a length of time?
