Reset password recurrence Provide the number of days when the user will be forced to reset the password. Only accessible by users that are part of the Super administrators group.
A deadline established in days can be set so that all users are required to change their password. So, if the Super administrator decides that every 365 days (for example), passwords must be changed, all users will have to change it after 365 days. The first time the Super administrator sets up this rule, users will have to change their password directly even if it has been less than X days (365 in the example above) since they established it.
Note that users will no longer be able to reuse previously used passwords (any).
