Windows 11: Enforcing password resets for local group users
2023-05-30 21:13

One of these fundamental security procedures is the period resetting of a strong login password - a security task that users are understandably reluctant to participate in.

In Windows 11, administrators of local user accounts can force members to reset their respective passwords on their next login by making a simple change on a specific configuration screen.

Navigating to this screen requires a few steps and may involve a less-than-intuitive flip of more than one switch, but doing so will force you users to reset their Windows 11 login passwords.

You cannot reach the proper setting through Settings, and typing "User control" into the Windows 11 desktop search box will not reveal the proper settings area either.

Click on the Users folder to reveal the list of local users.

Perform this task on other users from the list as you see fit, and when you have finished, you can exit both the Local Users and Groups manager and the User Accounts control panel.
