Password Expiration!? Login Message

[atlambros83]

so....I was logging onto my forums a second ago and after logging in I got this message.

Your password is 180 days old, and has therefore expired.

Please change your password using this page.

...I've never received that message on any vbulletin board I've used....is that normal or is that some sort of phishing thing or something? If it's real, are all of my members going to be asked to change their password every 180 days? I can see that being pretty annoying in the future....is there a way to turn it off?

If it's a bug or if someone's phishing my site, how do I get rid of it?

Its in the user group options.

Password Expiry (If you specify a number of days here, users will be required to change their password when this amount of time elapsed since they last changed)
