Make existing users change their password at next logon to meet this requirement

When selecting to require complex passwords, you will be asked if you would you like all users to that do not currently meet this requirement to change their password at next login.

If Yes is selected, any existing changes must first be saved. GainSeeker will then check each user password against the requirement. If the requirement is not met, the Change password at next login box will be checked for that user on the Users tab. You will then have the option to review the proposed changes and either submit or cancel them.
