Our passwords expire every 120 days. The user receives the following email warnings 1-Between 29 and 30 days before expiration 2-Between 13 and 14 days before expiration 3-Every day starting at 7 days before expiration until the password expires. The account expiration of the approximately 3000 accounts was initially spread over a period of a month so that the password expirations would not all take place on the same day. We have no system in place to reset the password based on answering questions only the user should know. I considered putting something into SCT Banner Web to allow a user to initiate a password reset but since Banner Web will eventually be accessed here inside a portal with Single Sign On it didn't make sense to do this since once SSO was initiated the user would probably not remember their Banner Web PIN.
