Password

Expiry Interval: Set an interval between 30 and 90 days in England (and 90 days in Scotland) when passwords will automatically expire and have to be renewed by users. Make the entry as 30D (30 days) or 90D (90 days).

Minimum Length: 6 is the minimum number of characters for a password. 12 is a maximum number of characters.

Date Passwords Expire: Sets a global date for password expiry, but can be left blank. This would be useful in the event of a security violation. Passwords created before this date will expire on this date. When a password expires, the user will be forced to create a new password before accessing the system (the user will enter the old password correctly first at login, and will then be prompted to enter a new password).
