Password expiration is a security measure used to limit the amount of time a password is valid. Requiring users to update their passwords regularly helps to mitigate the risks of older passwords being compromised over time. If an attacker obtains a password, a shorter expiration time can reduce the time window they have for unauthorized access before the password is changed.
