Question: If we pay dues for a year, why can’t we keep the same password for a year?
Answer: Our MLXchange system contains information exclusive to REALTORS® that we want to protect, therefore strict security policies require new passwords each month. It is not meant as a punishment or chore, but as a security precaution.
