Frequent changes of your users??™ passwords is another way of staying one step ahead of the
attackers. A good rule is to reset passwords every 3??“6 months. drone77 is set to change
passwords every 90 days.
TIP
Setting the Minimum Number of Days for the Same Password item for greater than 0
prevents users from changing passwords when forced and then immediately changing
them back.

FIGURE 19.3 Let the user set a password on first login with these settings.
To let drone77 choose a password on login, you must set the Expiration Date for today (in
the YYYY-MM-DD format) and set the Days After Password Expires with Usable Login to 1
or 0. The Days Before Password Expiration to Issue Warning can stay at the default, but
can be adjusted to your preference. The system will then prompt drone77 to change passwords.
When that happens, you should return here to delete the Expiration Date.
Click the Details tab to review the other defaults associated with this user. These default
settings are generally OK, but there may be items to adjust.
