so I feel like I have ocd like a bad habit of constantly changing passwords and clicking forgot password all the time so much so my question is do companies keep logs of that and how long do companies keep records/logs of how many times I changed my passwords or clicked forgot password?



Like emails,banks, Adp and so on



I feel like I’ve been doing it way too much and feel like they may get suspicious ?



Thanks

    It doesn't appear that this is a workplace related question. It would be closer to on topic on the security stack. But the answer is going to be very application dependent and thus hard to answer-- I know of some apps that would keep that sort of information forever, others would purge the record of the password reset as soon as the one-time token was used or expired. There may be an answerable question here if you want to rewrite it to ask something like what sorts of patterns of activity financial institutions would consider suspicious.

  • Well what sorts of pattern activity do they see as suspicious and how would you know? Wouldn’t they let you know right away by locking your account?
