Updated: I have also added "Prompt user to change password 1 day
prior to expiring", but it seems like the password doesn't really
expire. If your password goes over the set policy, in this case 1
day, will you get a message saying your password has expired? We're
not getting anything with the above policy, no prompt to change it or
password has expired. Do you have to change your password after the
policy is in place so it knows how old the password is?
