Wrong and wrong. Do not change your password every month. Do not make it something you cannot remember. That will only create a huge problem and mean people will be pasting their passwords to their screens. You actually do not ever need to change your password unless you believe you have been compromised.
Here are the fail-safe criteria for a password that NEVER changes: use caps-lock; make it at least 6 characters; make it something you can remember (no special characters); make it two words with a space between. You're now safe as a church.
