pronto 6 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Servus Community, today I was suddenly asked to change the password of the ESET Protect GUI. This was unexpected. This is the first time in all the years we use ESET. Where does this come from suddenly and how to turn it off? Thx & Bye Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,085 Posted December 8, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 8, 2022 If 1500 days have not elapsed and yet you were prompted for a password change, please open a support ticket for investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pronto 6 Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 It is possible that we have the setup in operation for 1500 days now but the checkbox that requires a password change is not checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The checkbox is unrelated to the password expiration age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a password change is not required, what does the 1,500 days still matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Solution Marcos 5,085 Posted December 8, 2022 Administrators Solution Share Posted December 8, 2022 When creating a new account, the value is the number of days after which the password will expire and will have to be changed. Ticking the box will enforce immediate password change after the next log in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
