Password Length (characters)

The range of length (in terms of number of characters) of a user password can be set. The number of characters in a user password is not allowed to exceed the maximum length, or fall below the minimum length that has been specified.

Force Password Change after

The password of a user can be made valid for a fixed period after which a password change should be forced. After the specified number of days has elapsed for the user's password, it is no longer valid and a password change is forced. The number of calendar days defined will be applicable for a password change of any nature - either through the Change Password function initiated by the user or a forced change initiated by the system.

Minimum Days between Password Changes

The minimum number of calendar days that must elapse between two password changes can be configured. After a user has changed the user password, it cannot be changed again until the minimum numbers of days you specify here have elapsed.

Intimate Users (before password expiry)

The number of working days before password expiry can be configured, which is used to display a warning message to the user. When the user logs into the system (the stipulated number of days before the expiry date of the password), a warning message will continue to be displayed till the password expires or till the user changes it. By default, the value for this parameter is two (i.e., two days before password expiry).
