This scenario describes a policy where the system enforces password expiration, prompting users to update passwords after a defined period.
''Password expiration is a security policy that requires users to reset their passwords periodically---commonly 30, 60, or 90 days---to mitigate the risk of compromised credentials.'' --- CompTIA ITF+ Objectives
