What determines the number of days a password can exist before the user must change it in the Platform Service Controller Password Policy?

Maximum Lifetime
Password Age
Maximum Days
Password Lifetime

The correct answer is: Maximum Lifetime

The correct choice relates to how the Platform Services Controller (PSC) manages password security through its policies. The "Maximum Lifetime" parameter specifically determines the duration in days that a password remains valid before it must be changed by the user. This parameter is essential for maintaining security hygiene within the environment. By setting a maximum lifetime for passwords, administrators can ensure that users are required to update their passwords regularly, reducing the risk of unauthorized access due to stale or compromised credentials. While terms like "Password Age" and "Password Lifetime" may seem relevant, they do not specifically define the enforceable policy setting under PSC. "Maximum Days" is also not typically the standard term used in this context. Hence, "Maximum Lifetime" is the most precise option for indicating how long a password can be used before a mandatory change is required.
