Why Previous Password Settings Apply After 'Never' Change

Learn why previous password settings still apply after changing expiry to 'never'. Understand the impact on existing passwords.

Why do previous password settings still apply after changing to 'never' expiry?

Previous password settings still apply after changing to 'never' expiry because the new setting only affects passwords set after the change. Existing passwords will follow the rules of the policy in place when they were created.

This means that if a password was set under a 90-day expiry policy, it will still expire after 90 days, even if the policy is later changed to 'never'. The 'never' expiry setting will only apply to passwords set after the change.
