Expiry date for user's password

[M.M. Oee]

How to set the date period (e.g. 90 days) to force the users to change their password?

as root


passwd -x 90 username

That will do it

As far as I know you'll need to do it one user at a time.

You an also do it as an option to the useradd command.

Hi,

The -M option of the chage command specifies the maximum number of days the password is valid. So, for instance, if you want a user's password to expire in 90 days, type the following command:

chage -M 90 username

passwd -x max username



Determine the maximum number of days, max, a password
can remain unchanged. The user must enter another
password after that number of days has transpired,
known as the password expiration time.
