    Password SettingsDescription
    Number of attempts before lock-out
    Set the amount of password attempt failures before a user is locked out of their account. This number resets after successful login.

    The login screen will display how many attempts are left based upon the value entered here less the number of failed attempts.

    This can also be used within email templates by adding the 'Attempts' field.
    Password expires after x days (0 never expires)
    A user's password will expire after this set amount of days.

    Assure Expenses checks the last date which the password was changed and then calculates how many days have passed until the current day. For example, when this value is set to 10 and the password was last changed on the 16th July, the date when it expires will be the 27th July @ 00:00:00.

    If this value is set to 0 (zero), the password will not expire.
