According to me changing your passwords regularly is best practice, expiry is an implementation technique that forces users to follow best practice.

The problem is that every single scheme makes passwords more predictable than before and now there are lot of technology which explores the password to the unknown person within a week.
I always prefer to change account password at every 15 to 20 days interval.

Password Expiry is also a good practice, as it generates a new password after every 15-20 days interval, it also lets you know when your current password going to expire, it provides the different combination of letters from your suggested word or sentences which help you to remember the password. that's actually good feature it provides.
