Much as I hate to say it, convenience may win here. I know, I know . it's
bad form to have non-expiring passwords, etc, etc. Been there, preached that.
However, the usability factor is a non-trivial design consideration, and even
though we all agree that Sales people are not the most clue-ful

If you (or whatever sales guy) want to put YOUR OWN account at risk by
using an insecure password, and not changing it periodically; go ahead.
If you want to put MY money (or the owners of the company's) at risk for
the convenience of a clueless sales guy, I'm taking my money & business
elsewhere.
All this comments are great, does anyone have a url or document with a
list of reason for having the passwords expiring or explaining why it is
not a good thing to have non-expiring password?
Thanks

Interesting point It doesn't mean a darn thing but it would
interesting to see the sales folk squirm if they were asked to sign a
disclaimer document stating that they'd be responsible for password
related security breeches. What a shame it wouldn't be enforceable!

Too true Susan.
Also in Banks, at least in SA, you need the Account number/PIN/Password
combination to get access to your account and not just a password.

Hi,
In the bank application case, I am not talking about the
bank users having to change the password, I was meaning the bank clients having

Let's put it this way, sales department make money , IT department

to why Citibank don't force you to change your password, and they offer

We have a GUI web portal and we are forced to change the password.
Sales people set your security policy these days?
