I very much dislike online services that require a password change.
for security, in my opinion, this forum is enough to only use the google 2FA application without having to change the password regularly which makes the user have to memorize it again.

I'm agree with this
Not in recent times but hacked accounts were always problem here, for example once famous member posted in Condoras's thread and he filled 0.5btc loan, in reality account was hacked, this man just didn't check it and lost his bitcoins. Usually such things were happening because of hacked accounts, that's real problem.
On another hand I don't like your idea of requesting password change every two months. I know my password well and I take care of my account, so why to change it that often for you? Do the same, set hard/different password and remember it, that's not hard lol.

The company I work for forces me to change my password every 60 days and that is actually a good idea you suggested.
Many of us use google "save password" option for log in.
You really should not do that! Password stealers are configured in such a way to find and steal the data that Chrome/Firefox and other browsers store when using the 'save password' option. At least get a password manager if you prefer saving your passwords. 
I couldn't disagree more!
I very much dislike online services that require a password change. If it can be compromised in 10 years, it can be compromised in 2 months too. Even worse: regular password changes are terrible: it's extra work, it requires me to make a new backup of my password manager, and for the users who don't use a password manager, it makes it impossible to remember a new difficult password all the time.

Hello Everyone,
In recent times bitcointalk account hacking has been a big concern for us. We are getting thread where members are claiming for their hacked account and facing a hard situation to recover it. In current system there is a option "Always stay logged in". If you click on that then you don't need to put login details untill you use log out option. Many of us use google "save password" option for log in.
As a result we may forget our password because of not using it for a long time. On the other hand many users use same password for all online accounts and its an opportunity for hackers to hack their account easily.
How it will be if forum force to reset password in every 2 month? For example if someone didn't change his/her password during this time frame then he/she will redirect to password reset page after log in. After reset a new password he/she will be able to log in again.
In my opinion if this force password system implement by our forum then it will not be easier for hackers to hack users account. From my experience i have seen this force password system on some banking website where they force to reset their users account password in every 2 or 3 month. If hackers be able to steal users account info somehow still then they will not be able to use it for a long time due to force password system.
