It's similar in IT. Almost no one recommends regular password changes anymore, but we won't pass our audit if we don't require password changes every 90 days.

I never understood why this caught on, you even see it recommended for personal applications... which is just stupid. The only reason it existed in the first place is because of concerns of shoulder lookers.
