Why can't I reuse a password for a full year?

This may sound stupid, but it is my account and I should be able to call the shots. I don't have a perfect memory and use passwords over again. I tried to change to my old password, changing capitalization, and Apple refuses.

I answered your question yesterday, and Apple removed it. I don't expect either company to feel any pain if I don't use them. My point is, I do have a choice. It should not be up to Apple to decide what my password can be. If someone were to crack my password, they will find 14 cents on my iTunes account. I am responsible that way, no credit cards, no large balance of funds. I don't see the need in paying for a password management program. It is frustrating that I cannot see when the last time was my password was changed, so I could anticipate when a year was up. Also annoying, being told to use an upper-case letter, and numbers in my password. I do have a brain of my own, and can figure out a decent password. I use to work in radio, so finding a group of letters and numbers should be easily. So, what if my password is all caps? Is that okay with Apple??

  • Password - why can't adminstrators access customer password

    I am a system adminstrator for two sites and I am becoming increasingly frustrated at the inability to access customer passwords.  I have a number of custoemrs who regularly forget their passwords who are not particularly computer savvy and I am not able to help them without a lot of phone/email support.  Whereas under the previous system I could communicate their password to them saving both of us a great deal of time and energy.
    I am very aware that BC changed the system to deny access to passwords for all but the customer but this for my sites is ridiculous.  I have access to all info that my customers have and I can 'change/update' any customer info on my site so why can I not access their password.
    This is extremely frustrating as the current process assumes computer literate users and that the system 'Forgotten Password' tokens work - the latter is not always the case and I have  a current support request to this effect.
    I would appreciate someone who knows the system well to explain to me the rationale behinds BC's change to password access adn what is the reality re how this enhances cuntomer security when the systems administrator has access to all that customers data.

    Hey Richard. I think you miss understand here.
    Most secure systems - no password in the admin. You have the button in the admin to send a email for the reset request. This will also show (if you sort the site correctly) on the form they use to login.
    Both use the reset email and again, ensuring that is set up correct is something you have access to and ensure has the elements and worded as you need them to be.
    If people keep forgetting their password that to be quite frank it is their problem, why should a system become less secure because of this?
    Do good systems do this? No , should they change? heck no.
    Set up the processes to so the flow is easy to reset (which you have control over) and if they keep forgetting then they need to change them to something they wont forget.
    Are you going to contact Apple and their Itunes store and ask them for your password? They wont know and not provide it to you, they do not know as it is in encrypted.
    Like any systems you may also be aware of they say "No customer support respresentitive will ask for your pasword or provide you with your password". Etc.
    This will not change.

  • Password Remember Button does not function; Can't input 3rd Party Passwords for Social Networks/Emails.

    My "Remember" button doesn't work. Simple as that. The "Not Now"
    Button still works, and closes the pop-bar. Remember doesn't do anything.
    [Exception... "'User canceled master password entry, login not added.' when calling method: [nsILoginManagerStorage::addLogin]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsLoginManager.js :: anonymous :: line 445" data: no]
    Occurs when trying to input 3rd Party extension passwords.
    I have no master password set, I have also read the "Password not remembered topic", and it didn't help.
    Error Console yields this:
    "'''Warning: The 'charCode' property of a keyup event should not be used. The value is meaningless.

    Okay, I have started Firefox in Safe Mode, and the Remember button still didn't work. After checking the error console, It had the following message again:
    "Error: uncaught exception: [Exception...

    After I Evaluated it (In the error console) it gave me a slightly different version:

    I read the Troubleshooting extensions & Themes, but It didn't help.
    When I tried to read "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager" I get a page that says:

    While trying to retrieve the URL: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager

    The system returned:

    Also, this error occurs in ALL 3rd Party extensions. It can't log me into E-Mail accounts, Facebook, Twitter, anything. The error message has a window title of [JAVASCRIPT APPLICATION] if that says anything.

    I think it may just be a matter of completing your our purchase through the US Adobe Store (not the Adobe Store in Greece). For more information, see "Are there any workarounds?" in this document.

  • HT201415 i can't find my wifi password for iphone 4s

    i can't find my wifi password for my iphoine 4s.  is there a way to reset it.

    Many internet providers put the WiFi password on a stick on the bottom of the router they send you, so start by looking there. If you changed the password from what it was originally or didn't get the router from your provider, you'll need to determine the make and model of the router and see if you can find the manufacturer's instructions for resetting the password. You might also contact your internet service provider for assistance.
