Changing or removing password expiration interval for login or role

Use sp_modifylogin to change the password expiration interval for an existing login, add a password expiration interval to a login that did not have one, or remove a password expiration interval. sp_modifylogin only effects user roles, not system roles.

Example 1 Changes the password expiration interval for the login “joe” to 5 days:

sp_modifylogin "joe", @option="passwd expiration", @value="5"

NoteThe value parameter is a character datatype; therefore, quotes are required for numeric values.

Example 2 Changes the value of the overrides for the password expiration for all logins to 3 days”:

sp_modifylogin "all overrides", @option="passwd expiration", @value="3" 

Example 3 Removes the value of the overrides for the password expiration for all logins:

sp_modifylogin "all overrides", @option="passwd expiration", @value="-1"

For details on the syntax and rules for using passwd expiration, see sp_modifylogin.
