2. Enter / Select the required values in the fields. Refer to the table below for field names and descriptions.

3. Review all the values and click Save.

4. The Global account settings will be configured successfully.

Old Password Limit	Number of new passwords that the user should use before reusing an old password. Enter 0 if you want to allow the user to re-enter the old password again.
Password Expiry	Number of days after which the user must change their account password. A user is given one grace log in with their old password.
