If you expire passwords, then users will choose simple passwords. See xkcd.com/936 for how to choose a good password.

Relevant recommendations from US government FTC: ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/techftc/2016/03/… NIST Special Publication 800-63B (Google cached) also eliminates requirements to age off passwords.

But does this contain the per-user setting, or (as the name suggests) is it just the default when a new user is created?

@G-Man I couldn't find any content in question that OP is asking for the user based expiry, for that we can dopasswd -x max username, wheremaxis the maximum age limit for the current password.

passwd -x max username , where max is the maximum age limit for the current password.– msp9011
