# Which Problems Are Solved
Some organizations / customers have the requirement, that there users
regularly need to change their password.
ZITADEL already had the possibility to manage a `password age policy` (
thought the API) with the maximum amount of days a password should be
valid, resp. days after with the user should be warned of the upcoming
expiration.
The policy could not be managed though the Console UI and was not
checked in the Login UI.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- The policy can be managed in the Console UI's settings sections on an
instance and organization level.
- During an authentication in the Login UI, if a policy is set with an
expiry (>0) and the user's last password change exceeds the amount of
days set, the user will be prompted to change their password.
- The prompt message of the Login UI can be customized in the Custom
Login Texts though the Console and API on the instance and each
organization.
- The information when the user last changed their password is returned
in the Auth, Management and User V2 API.
- The policy can be retrieved in the settings service as `password
expiry settings`.

# Which Problems Are Solved
There is confusing ambiguity in the error messages for setting too long
passwords in different places.
# How the Problems Are Solved
A check for maximum password length is added so it's clear that
passwords can't exceed a maximum length of 70 or 72 bytes.
Password validation now provides a live updating check mark or cross
mark to indicate if the maximum length requirement is met.
# Additional Changes
Clarified requirement descriptions on the registration page with
complete sentences.
# Additional Context
Closes#6301
