How to Configure Password Expiration Criteria
Using the User Editor, you can configure password expiration criteria. Many organizations suggest (or require) that you change your password periodically for security reasons. This functionality lets the Administrator enforce this security measure.
Password expiration criteria are applied only if the user is set up to use standard authentication and is allowed to change their password. Standard authentication is the default authentication mode. When a project source is configured to use standard authentication, users must enter a valid login ID and password combination before they can access the project source.
