   That critically important web site you use once a year that requires you to reset your password every 6 months.

     @robpike Related: I use bt.com once a month to pay my broadband bill. If you click the "remember login" button, it remembers for 28 days.

     This means there is a 50% chance of it working once per non-leap year (when I login in March after a 28-day February, depending on whether it's earlier or later in the day).

     @robpike the acronym is SUX, for security user experience…

     That's nothing compared to all my certs that expire every 12 months, for which I get a warning 30 days before, but the provided script to update them won't work if it's within 30 days of expiration.
