Once you've enabled password expiration, you can customize the following:
Setting	Description
Expire Password after	The password expiration interval controls the number of days that a valid password can be used before it must be changed by the user (60-90 days). Example: If a firm expires user passwords after 90 days, a password reset on Jan 1 will expire on March 31.
Show password reset reminder ___ day(s) before expiration	When a user’s password is close to expiration, the user is directed to reset their password. Firms can customize when the reset reminders are sent to the user before the password expires (7-15 days).
