Hello all,

I'm going to change configuration of password fortmat with adding more complexity. After that I would like to force all users to update their passwords accordingly.

Is there a way to expire the password immediately so user will be prompted to update their password on next login?

1. In the Admin Console, make the required changes to password policy, and regardless of the intended expiry, enable "Expire Passwords" and set "Maximum Password Age" to 1 day.
2. Wait until all passwords would have expired.
3. Change the password expiry settings to the intended settings.

    There is even a KB, great. Thank you.

    How is that expiration period counted? Is the counting starts with enabling it so the expiration will effective exactly after 24hrs?

    Or is it checking age of the password so passwords older than a day would expire immediatelly?

    I just want to avoid situation that user is forced to change password again if the expiration is not disabled on time.
