iv. Frequent password changes have been shown to cause users to
select less
secure passwords. If the CA has any policy that specifies
routine periodic password changes,
that period SHOULD NOT be less than two years. Effective

if the CA has any policy that requires routine periodic
password changes, that period SHALL NOT
be less than two years."
