Microsoft removes Password-Expiration Policy in security baseline for Windows 10

Microsoft announced the removal of the password-expiration policy from its operating system starting with the next Windows 10 feature update (Windows 10 version 1903, a.k.a., 19H1 ) and Windows Server version 1903. The idea behind this change is that a password expiration policy could improve the users security only in case of a data breach, instead if a password is never compromised, setting an expiration date for it may worsen the user experience. The proposed Windows-10-1903-Security-Baseline-DRAFT also includes a change related to the built-in Administrator and Guest accounts.”]
