# PasswordChangeDuration

The time interval after which users must change their passwords. After this time period has expired, a user cannot authenticate with IDOL Community Component until they change their password. Specify the duration in the following format:

    NumberTimeUnit

where,

`Number` | is the number of time units to elapse.
`TimeUnit` | is the time unit to apply. The following units are available: `second` `seconds` `minute` `minutes` `hour` `hours` `day` `days` `week` `weeks` `month` `months`

NOTE:

If you do not specify a `TimeUnit`, IDOL Community Component reads the specified number as seconds.

Before the time period expires, Community displays a `PasswordTimeRemaining` value (in seconds) when a user authenticates successfully. If you do not want to expire passwords, set `PasswordChangeDuration` to `-1`.
