If I remember correctly I think my password has only expired once in 6 or
so years (with the final version) I called accounting and got the good
forever password and has never given me a problem since. the only other
time that I have gotten the warning that my password was about to expire
was during beta testing, and then it gave me at least a week to call in and
get a new one. So this password thing is kind of a mute point for me as
well as most people. I think that rather than complaining just call and
ask, that is what I did and there was no problem. the automated password
deal that Omega had or still uses, has never worked for me at all, it just
says that there is no record of me or something like that or doesn't
recognize the phone number even though I have verified it as being correct
with accounting several times. I think the best course of action is a
constructive one between us, as users and Omega, I made that point several
months ago and now Janette Perez is answering some important questions and
at least giving us some input although more is better. The point is that
if you ask the right question the right way you will probably get the right
answer. ie (how do I get my permanent password versus Omega doesn't trust
me) backing someone into a corner is not the way to get things done, It
tends to make people want to fight back. nuff said
