1. A machine-implemented method comprising:

  • storing, by a processor, a current password in a current password storage area, wherein storing the current password results in committing the current password;

    initiating, by the processor, a password change interval in response to committing the current password, the password change interval indicating a required point at which to change the current password;

    storing, by the processor, a future password in a future password storage area, wherein storing the future password results in activating the future password, and wherein activating the future password is independent of resetting the password change interval;

    receiving a login request that includes a login password corresponding to a user;

    determining, by the processor, that the login password matches the future password; and
