Is it really necessary to change passwords regularly?

Yes, changing the password is important. You should always change an old password that hasn't been used in over a year, but some experts recommend changing old passwords after just a few months. The more often you change slightly-used passwords, the safer you'll be; especially if you're not using multi-factor authentication.

Passwords are like underwear: you don't let people see it, you should change it very often, and you shouldn't share it with strangers.

Above passwords are only for the example or to acknowledge format, should not be used for any accounts without changing it.
