Password Policy Manager | Password… Reviews
Ok features, but password expiry is PREMIUM
Although the plugin’s description claims “Auto Password Expiry” is included in the FREE, it isn’t really. What is included in the free version is a 7 week expiry that you can’t change. That’s misleadi

works great
