As a logged in user I should know if a password is about to expire and should be changed

Q1. What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
In some systems passwords are set to expire after a while. Some organizations also requires by policy to change ones password once in a while. Right now it is not possible to know visually or using notification if a password is about to expire and should be changed.

Q2 - Who is impacted?
People using password that need to be renewed.

Q3 - Why is it important and/or urgent?
This is a common use case and part of password hygiene to renew passwords.

Q4 - What is your proposed solution? (optional)
For example, during the password creation one ca set a lifetime for a password of 2 months. On the sidebar and the grid there will be an highlight for outdated or soon to be outdated credentials. A second dependent feature would be to get a periodic mail notification of every passwords near the ending their lifetime.

  • :raising_hand_woman: Should have: this is important for me to have this
  • :tipping_hand_woman: Could have: this could be nice to have
  • :no_good_woman: Won’t have: we should not schedule this (explain why)

With recent changes to law over here this would be extremely useful since we are required to change passwords every few weeks now.
