ADP criticized for clumsy forced password change rule
Original: This dumb password rule is from ADP. Forced to change the password during the first login. At least they could use prope
ADP, the US payroll and HR services giant, is being mocked online for its first-login password policy, which forces new users to change their password immediately. Critics say the enforcement message is poorly written and the rule itself adds friction without improving security. The complaint has been logged on a site that catalogues bad password requirements at major companies, drawing agreement from security professionals who argue such forced resets often push users toward weaker, predictable passwords.
Why now: Security practitioners enjoy flagging poorly designed authentication policies at major companies, and ADP's scale makes this one relatable.
