    New accounts default to "Password never expires"


    Long time lurker, first time poster...Windows 10 22H2, with updates though August Patch Tuesday applied. Local machine, no domain, no network. Security requirement. If I create a local user account by going to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users, the new account defaults to "Password never expires". If I go Control Panel > User Accounts > User Accounts > Manage other account, and "Add a user account", I don't get "Password never expires". But if I go Windows Explorer, right-click This PC, Manage, Local Users and Groups> Users and create an account, it default

    :)

    Password issue

    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???

    Forgotten PIN and expired password

    Hi Dyari,

    Thanks for your answer.

    I tried steps of both links:

    • #1: reset PIN code
      • I see no link "reset your PIN"on login page --> I can't reset it
    • #2: change or reset windows password
      • My Windows account is not displayed at all on login page.
      • I am using a local account
    If you have any other suggestion, I would be more than happy to try.

    Regards,

    Guillaume

    Windows Password has expired.

    Hi,

    I apologize for not addressing you in a timely manner. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

    I suggest you click on the link below and reset your password. (if you are using a Microsoft account)

    Forgotten password and other sign-in problems

    I can't sign in to my Microsoft account - Microsoft Support

    If you are using a local account, you may remove the password and set a strong password again. To remove the password, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows Key + R.
    • Type control panel and click on Ok.
    • On the top right corner, change the view by to large icons.
    • Click on User accounts. And then click on manage another account.
    • Under the list, select your account and click remove/delete password.
    Once the password is deleted, you may go to the same settings to set a new password.

    Keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.
