Discussion

Passwords that do not expire increase exposure with a greater probability of being discovered or cracked.

Check

Run "Computer Management". Navigate to System Tools >> Local Users and Groups >> Users. Double-click each active account.

If "Password never expires" is selected for any account, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure all passwords to expire. Run "Computer Management". Navigate to System Tools >> Local Users and Groups >> Users. Double-click each active account. Ensure "Password never expires" is not checked on all active accounts.
