Why is changing passwords bad practice? What is the reasoning behind this? Changing passwords is highly recommended. There are many reasons why one should do this. Found this article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-passwords-must-periodically-changed-roger-grimes and don't agree. The argumentation seems like if you have to remember all passwords, but totally ignores password managers.
NIST used to tell orgs to require password rotation. Some years ago they changed their recommendation with an explanation that it adds not security benefits while it encourages users to write down or use shittier passwords.
