17. Password Management 17 © 2019 Percona 

18.Password Management • Password expiration • validate_password plugin 18 © 2019 Percona 

19.Password Expiration • MySQL enables database administrators to expire account passwords manually, and to establish a policy for automatic password expiration. Expiration policy can be established globally, and individual accounts can be set to either defer to the global policy or override the global policy with specific per-account behavior. 19 © 2019 Percona 

20.Password Expiration Individual Accounts mysql> create user test_expired_user@localhost identified by 'Sekr$K1et' PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL 1 day; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec) Globally mysql> SET GLOBAL default_password_lifetime = 1; 20 © 2019 Percona 

21.Password Expiration mysql: test_expired_user@localhost ((none)) > show databases; ERROR 1820 (HY000): You must reset your password using ALTER USER statement before executing this statement. 21 © 2019 Percona
