Understanding Password Aging

Password aging is a security feature that requires users to periodically change their passwords at set intervals determined by an organization's security policy. This practice helps enhance system security by reducing the likelihood of a compromised password being used for an extended period. It also aims to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information by ensuring that passwords are regularly updated.
