In summary, the 180 day password limit is a security measure that requires users to change their password every 180 days. It is in place to ensure the security of user accounts and decrease the likelihood of them being compromised. If a password is not changed within 180 days, the account may be locked or access to certain systems may be restricted. It is possible to change the password before the 180 day limit, but the limit cannot be bypassed as it is a mandatory security measure.

What really happens after the 180 password period? If we do not choose a new password at or before the 180 day time period and we are late, what happens to our account? Do we lose our account? Does it become dormant and may still be revived?
