"ITS will not send emails advising you to change your password that:

•       Include a link in the email that you click on
•       Ask you to reply to the email with your username and password
•       Contain poor English/misspelt words " lol

It changes EVERYTHING. ok maybe it isn't that drastic but my current password is very good (random) and I remember it, if I change it it will be forgotten.
