Password Aging

Definitions

1. The tracking of how long a password has existed since it was last changed, often used in policies that flag or force rotation of older credentials. Password aging is less emphasized in modern guidance for many user accounts, but it still matters in some legacy, privileged, or regulatory environments.

   In plain English: How long a password has been in use since it was last changed.

   Example: "The audit found service accounts with extreme password aging because some shared credentials had not changed in years."
