Title

Accounts must be configured to require password expiration.

Control

Run "Computer Management". Navigate to System Tools >> Local Users and Groups >> Users. Double-click each active account. If "Password never expires" is selected for any account, this is a finding.

Discussion

Passwords that do not expire increase exposure with a greater probability of being discovered or cracked.
