我们大多数人都有长期使用相同密码的习惯。这很危险，主要是如果密码在多个地方使用。在安全漏洞中，密码可能对所有人开放。所以今天，在这篇文章中，我们将分享如何为您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}或本地帐户设置^{(Local Account)}密码到期日期^{(Password Expiration Date)}。它将强制用户每隔几个月更改一次密码。

这是我们为两种不同类型的帐户设置密码过期。Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}和本地 Windows^{(Local Windows)}帐户。如果您在Windows 10^{(Windows 10)}中使用Microsoft帐户，则不时更改它变得更加重要。

当我们说Set password Expiration Date时，您可以选择 Windows 11/10 为本地帐户提供的内容，也可以使用“net”命令进行设置。

^{(Set Password Expiration Date)}为Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft Account)}设置密码到期日期

1. 转到Microsoft 帐户安全部分^{(Microsoft Account Security section)}
2. 单击密码安全下的更改我的密码^{(Change my password)}链接
3. 输入^(Enter)旧密码和新密码两次
4. 选中“让我每 72 天更改一次密码”框^{(Make me change my password every 72 days)}

此方法的唯一缺点是您需要将当前密码更改为过去 3 次未重复的密码。然后， Microsoft^(Microsoft)将每 72 天自动提示您更改密码。

您应该知道这与您在 Windows 11/10 计算机上使用的PIN或Windows Hello不同。^{(Windows Hello)}

^{(Set Password Expiration Date)}为本地帐户^{(Local Account)}设置密码到期日期

虽然可以在 Windows 中创建无密码帐户，但这不是一个好主意。如果您是计算机的管理员用户，请确保所有用户经常更改密码。有两种方法可以做到这一点，它会强制用户更改他们当前的密码。默认值为 42 天。

1]使用用户帐户界面

1. 在运行提示 (Win + R) 中键入lusrmgr.msc，然后按Enter键。
2. 它将打开本地用户^{(Local Users)}和组编辑器^{(Groups Editor)}
3. 在“用户”文件夹下，找到要更改密码到期的用户
4. 双击打开用户属性
5. 取消选中密码永不过期^{(Password never expires)}的框
6. 单击^(Click)确定按钮以完成该过程

有一个流行的WMIC命令，但它似乎在Windows 11/10中不起作用。如果您使用没有“where name”子句的命令，它将为所有帐户设置密码过期^{(Password Expiration)}，包括系统帐户。

wmic UserAccount where name='John Doe' set Passwordexpires=false

2]用于设置到期日期^{(Expiration Date)}的命令行^{(Command-Line)} 选项^(Options)

完成后，如果要设置确切的到期日期^{( set an exact expiration date)}，则需要使用“净帐户”^{(“Net Accounts”)}命令。以管理员权限^(Admin)打开 PowerShell^{(Open PowerShell)}，然后执行命令Net Accounts。 它将揭示如下细节：

Force user logoff how long after time expires?: Never
Minimum password age (days): 0
Maximum password age (days): 42
Minimum password length: 0
Length of password history maintained: None
Lockout threshold: Never
Lockout duration (minutes): 30
Lockout observation window (minutes): 30
Computer role: WORKSTATION

如果要设置特定的到期日期，则必须以天为单位计算数字。如果将其设置为 30 天，用户将不得不每月更改一次密码。

Execute the command  Net Accounts /maxpwage 30

如果你想强制某人立即更改密码，你可以使用 maxpwage:1

阅读^(Read)：强制用户在下次登录时更改帐户密码^{(Force users to change Account Password at the next Login)}。

3]使用组策略^{(Use Group Policy)}更改密码到期日期^{(Password Expiration Date)}

1. 通过在运行^(Run)提示中键入gpedit.msc然后按Enter键打开组策略编辑器
2. 导航到Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Security Settings > Account Policies
3. 点击^(Click)Password Policy，然后点击Maximum Password age
4. 在这里，您可以从 42 更改为您喜欢的任何数字。最大值在 1-999 之间

我希望这篇文章很容易理解，并且您能够在Windows 11/10用户帐户^{(User Account)}的密码到期日期。

Set a Password Expiration Date for Microsoft Account and Local Account

Most of us have a habit of keeping using the same paѕsword for a long time. It’s dangerous, mainly if the password is in use at multiple places. It is possible that in a security breach, the password was оpen to all. So today, in this post, we will share how уou сan set a Password Expiration Date for your Microsoft Account or Local Account. It will force users to change the password every few months.

Here are we are setting password expiration for two different types of accounts. Microsoft Account, and the Local Windows account. If you are using a Microsoft account in Windows 10, then it becomes even more critical that you change it from time to time.

When we say Set password Expiration Date, you can either choose what Windows 11/10 offers for local accounts or set using the “net” command.

Set Password Expiration Date for Microsoft Account

1. Go to Microsoft Account Security section
2. Click on Change my password link under Password security
3. Enter the old password and the new password twice
4. Check the box which says Make me change my password every 72 days

The only drawback of this method is that you need to change the current password to one which you haven’t repeated the past three times. Microsoft will then automatically prompt you to change the password every 72 days.

You should know that this is different from PIN or Windows Hello, which you use on Windows 11/10 computer.

Set Password Expiration Date for Local Account

While it is possible to create a password-less account in Windows, it’s not a good idea. If you are the admin user of your computer, make sure all users change their password often.  There are two ways of doing this, and it will force users to change their current password. The default is 42 days.

1] Using User accounts interface

1. In the Run prompt (Win + R) type lusrmgr.msc followed by pressing the Enter key.
2. It will open Local Users and Groups Editor
3. Under Users folder, locate the user for which you want to change the password expiry
4. Double click to open the user properties
5. Uncheck the box which says Password never expires
6. Click on the OK button to complete the process

There is a popular WMIC command, but it seems to be not working in Windows 11/10. If you use the command without the “where name” clause, it will set Password Expiration for all the accounts, including system accounts.

wmic UserAccount where name='John Doe' set Passwordexpires=false

2] Command-Line Options to set Expiration Date

Once done, if you want to set an exact expiration date, then you need to use the “Net Accounts” command. Open PowerShell with Admin privileges, and execute the command Net Accounts. It will reveal details as below:

Force user logoff how long after time expires?: Never
Minimum password age (days): 0
Maximum password age (days): 42
Minimum password length: 0
Length of password history maintained: None
Lockout threshold: Never
Lockout duration (minutes): 30
Lockout observation window (minutes): 30
Computer role: WORKSTATION

If you want to set a particular expiration date, then you will have to calculate the figure in days. If you set it to 30 days, users will have to change their passwords once a month.

Execute the command  Net Accounts /maxpwage 30

If you want to force someone to change the password instantly, you can use maxpwage:1

Read: Force users to change Account Password at the next Login.

3] Use Group Policy to change Password Expiration Date

1. Open Group Policy Editor by typing gpedit.msc in the Run prompt followed by pressing the Enter key
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Security Settings > Account Policies
3. Click on Password Policy, and then click on Maximum Password age
4. Here you can change from 42 to any figure you like. The maximum is in between 1-999

I hope the post was easy to follow, and you were able to set the password expiration date for User Account in Windows 11/10.
