Palo Alto password expires if you don't log in for a period of time

L1 Bithead

Hi if  a admin user doesn't login for some time is it possible for the password to just expire ? Or could the account just automatically become locked out ? Is this such a thing ?

@daz12,

Yes, what you're looking for is implementing Password Profiles and assigning them to your admin users. I would just ensure that you are either leaving at least one account with a password profile either not applied as a "break glass" sort of account, or that you configure a post expiration login count limit on at least one of the accounts to avoid fully locking yourself out.
