    This is bugging me.

    I'm admin, anyway to change this? I'm about to have 1000 people send me PMs in the next few days when they hit this same timestamp. They will not be pleased if their favorite password is expiring.

    Check: AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> [Edit appropriate group] -> Password Expiry

    A default installation only has a password expiration on the Administrator group. The registered usergroup doesn't have it because security on their accounts is not as important.

    Thanks! That was driving me nuts!

    You are correct as usual Wayne, only the admin accounts passwords were expiring.

    All better now :thumbup:

    This drives me nuts also. I think my passwords are fairly strong, so I disable this. (How can you keep changing your password if you use an algorithm based on the site name anyway?)
