Because it's the most annoying thing you can do to torture a user. The University of Texas does this - it's a nightmare.


UW-Platteville does this and there is no way to reset your password off campus if it expires before you change it. You can't even call up the help desk to get a reset, they refuse to help you. My brother had to drive 4 hours to campus to get his password reset.

UW-Green Bay (where I went) has the same policies as UW-Platteville but has a remote reset page requiring your Student ID, SSN, and DOB.
