Usage Guidelines

When a user logs in to the device, the device checks how many more days the password is valid for. If the number of days is less than the prompt days set in this command, the device notifies the user in how many days the password will expire and asks the user whether they want to change the password.

If the user changes the password, the device records the new password and modification time.
If the user does not change the password or fails to change the password, the user can still log in as long as the password has not expired.

Example

# Set the number of password expiration prompt days to 90.
