I'm trying to log into my eforms account. I get a message that my password has expired and that I need to reset it. So I put in a new password and it doesn't like it, even though it showed that my new password met all the criteria. I try another and it doesn't like it either. I do this a few times and close that window. Then I come back to it 5 minutes later, and when i log in with my old password I get the message "password successfully updated". Great. So now I try to log in with the new password. It says it's wrong. So was it the last one I used? The first one? One of those in the middle? So far, none of those are working. Do I need to come back in another 10 minutes and try again? Very frustrating.

I noticed this yesterday as well. I hadn't logged in since last fall and it required a password change. Honestly I think they just want to make the whole process as vague and inconvenient as possible. I really, really hope the $0 tax gets thrown out by the supreme court, and if FRTs remain legal, then with the exception of DD's the NFA would finally be dead. |

ridiculous how often you need to change your password. Just do the same password with an added digit. Mine expired today as well so I went from "ATFpassword6" to "ATFpassword7" |

What's worse are the 87 administrative, training, or necessary application sites that have passwords that change periodically and you only use them annually or every other year. And no, the NSA doesn't have an app that helps you manage the passwords I just had to update my eForms password and will just do iterations ending in 1, 2, 3...for the next couple years also hoping much of the NFA shit goes away with $0 tax stamps...

ROCK6 I actually had numerous people reported to me when i was my unit's SSR at Meade because they had passwords written down in their desks. Every single one had a locking drawer on their desk so I just pulled em aside, said "look bro i totally get it....you've got a locking drawer, use it" apparently i was supposed to hit em with a frickin violation or something? ridiculous....none of the passwords were for logging in to the actual system itself, thankfully. just for getting into certain stuff once they were successfully on the network. so i used some of that personal judgement they let you use when you get enough rank and determined the network itself wasn't at risk, and they could go about their day

For example, go into a USPS parking lot and it's poured with concrete directional blocks and abundant signage, because By God, there is only one way to navigate a parking lot and it's the .gov way and you ARE going to navigate it that way. |
