I don't want to change my password to manage my Apple ID

I just tried to log in to manage my Apple ID. Of course, it told me I had to change my password. It tells me I have to change my password every time I log in. I am tired of changing my password. Right this second my wife is locked out of her account and my son can't remember his password. Both just bought new iPhones and of course, because they have had to repeatedly change their passwords they forgot them.

Needless to say, I am a little angry at the moment. I understand the need for security, but this isn't the Pentagon.

So, how do I manage my account without the need to change my password? Again. Thanks!

I agree wholeheartedly. There are way too many things that have my apple id stored. Why should we have to change it if it's not a problem?

I wish there were some recourse here.

I agree. This is getting tiresome. I've had to change my password now, when each had a capital letter, 2 numbers and a special character, about once every 3-4 days. This is getting old-fast and I may have to stop using icloud altogether for anything but the basic stuff to have a Mac and iPhone and go to exchange server or gmail.
