I strongly dislike the way to change password frequently.

Password is designed for user to recognize himself for authentication.
Frequently changing password make password itself meaningless to user.

As it is VNC password, this will almost make vnc unaccessible to user.
Personally, I dislike to use browser to console the VM at all.

I suspect whether there is a justification reasonable enough to take the way that "changing password".

So please exactly clarify what threat this "change password" strategy is protecting against?
