Meanwhile we had another password problem that cost us an hour on Mothers' Day. Thanks HQ!

But from some PMs, I've learned that "shared passwords" have indeed been a problem in some units. So, NIST not withstanding, a requirement to periodically change the passwords will likely continue in certain church apps for the foreseeable future. This is silly. Correct the behavior throu...

I won’t go into some of the things we’ve seen, but I’ll say that I do see the need. And it affects me — I have to change my MLS password regularly along with everyone else. So decreasing security and causing inconvenience is okay because it's inconvenient to you too? This is not a valid argument. I...

While the article has valid points, we discovered several interesting things as we started enabling this. There are a few benefits to forcing password changes on a semi-regular basis in our environment. Hey, great for you. Sucked for us. We had Stake Conference + General Conference right after some...

I believe this is a permission assigned in the permissions screen. At least I know any member of our bishopric can do this, but I (Finance Clerk) cannot.

In the US, tax summaries are required to be sent before Feb 1. Last year I didn't receive full-year donation records for members who moved in during the year until the last Sunday in January. I wouldn't expect it earlier than that.
